Using your Amistad 72 - inch Dining Bench is a breeze. First, assemble it following the instructions provided. You can place it in your dining room for seating up to four people during meals. Or, put it in the living room, mudroom, or bedroom as a decorative accent. When using it, make sure to place it on a flat surface. The adjustable foot pads can be tweaked to ensure stability. As for maintenance, wipe it down regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they might damage the beautiful mango wood finish. Also, be careful not to drag heavy objects across the bench to prevent scratches. With proper care, your bench will last for years to come.
