Using your new beam bench is a breeze. You can place it at the foot of your bed as a cozy spot to sit and put on your shoes, or use it in a living room as extra seating. When it comes to maintenance, it's important to keep it clean. For the linen part, you can gently vacuum it regularly to remove dust. If there are any spills, quickly blot them with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the linen as it may damage the fabric. As for the American oak part, you can use a soft, damp cloth to wipe it down occasionally. Make sure to dry it thoroughly to prevent any water damage. Also, try to keep the bench away from direct sunlight for long periods as it might cause the color of the linen and the wood to fade. And remember, you'll get the exact product based on the options you choose on the page.
