Using this bench is easy. Simply place it in your entryway where you need a stylish seating or display spot. When sitting on it, be gentle as it's made of pine wood. To keep it looking great, wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the distressed paint finish. If there are stains, use a mild soap and water solution and gently scrub the area. Keep it away from direct sunlight for long periods to prevent the paint from fading.
