Using this dining bench is easy. Just place it at your dining table and enjoy having a comfortable seat during meals. When using it, avoid standing on the bench as it's designed for sitting only. To maintain this bench, clean the fabric upholstery regularly with a soft brush to remove dust. For the wood part, you can use a mild wood cleaner and a soft cloth. Wipe it gently to keep the Antique Cherry finish looking great. If there are any spills on the fabric, blot them immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Don't use harsh chemicals on either the wood or the fabric as they can damage the bench.
