Using this dining bench is easy. Just place it in your dining area and enjoy having a stylish seat for your meals. When using it, make sure not to place extremely heavy or sharp objects on it to avoid scratching the wood or damaging the metal parts. For maintenance, you can wipe it with a soft, dry cloth regularly to keep it clean. If there are any stains, use a mild soap and water solution, then dry it thoroughly. Avoid exposing the bench to direct sunlight for long periods as it may fade the wood and metal over time.
