Using your Lagunita Leather Bench is super easy. Just place it in your desired spot, like near a window or at the end of a bed, and start enjoying its comfort. When sitting, make sure to distribute your weight evenly to avoid any uneven wear. As for maintenance, wipe the leather regularly with a soft, dry cloth to keep it clean. Avoid placing the bench in direct sunlight for long periods as it may fade the Seabreeze finish. If there are any spills, clean them up immediately with a mild leather cleaner. Also, be careful not to scratch the leather with sharp objects. With these simple steps, your bench will stay in great shape for years to come.
