Using your Amalia leather - weave bench is easy. Just place it in your entryway, bedroom, or living room as a decorative and functional piece. It can be used for sitting while you put on or take off your shoes, or as extra seating when you have guests. When it comes to assembly, you'll need to put it together as it requires assembly. As for safety, be aware that the bench has a Prop 65 chemical, leather dust, which is linked to cancer, so try to keep the area well - ventilated. To maintain the bench, dust it every week with a soft, clean cloth slightly wet with distilled water. If something spills on it, quickly blot the spill with a soft, dry absorbent cloth. This way, your bench will stay in great shape for a long time.
