Using this bench is super easy. Just place it in your entryway to greet guests in style, in the dining room for extra seating, or at the foot of the bed in your guest room. Since assembly is required, carefully follow the included instructions. When assembling, make sure all parts are tightly secured. For maintenance, regularly vacuum the bench to keep it clean. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight for long periods as it may fade the upholstery. And remember, this bench is for indoor residential use only, so don't put it outside. With a weight capacity of 250, make sure not to overload it. That's all you need to know to enjoy your new bench!
