Using this dining bench is easy. You can place it beside your dining table for extra seating during meals or at the end of your bed to create a cozy and functional spot. When using it, avoid placing extremely heavy objects that exceed its 700 - lb weight limit to prevent damage. As for maintenance, since acacia wood is durable, you don't need to do much. Just wipe it with a dry cloth regularly to keep it clean. If there are any stains, use a mild wood cleaner. Also, try to keep it away from direct sunlight for long periods to prevent the color from fading over time.
