Using this storage bench is a breeze. First, you'll need to assemble it according to the included instructions. Once it's set up, you can place it in your entryway, bedroom, or any area where you need extra storage. Open the bench to store your blankets, pillows, or other small items. To keep it looking its best, only spot clean the fabric when it gets dirty. Avoid using harsh chemicals or submerging the bench in water. If the bench is placed in direct sunlight for long periods, the fabric color may fade over time, so try to position it in a shaded area. Also, be careful not to over - load the bench as it may damage the frame or legs.
