Using this bench is a breeze. You can place it in your living room as an extra seat when you have guests over, or use it as a coffee table to display some decorative items. If you want to clean it, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the fabric and the brass base. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the finish of the steel and the brass. Keep it in a dry, indoor place to ensure its longevity. And remember, this bench is not suitable for outdoor use, so don't expose it to the elements.
