Using this rattan bench is super easy. Just place it in your desired spot, like at the end of your bed or in the hallway. You can sit on it to put on your shoes or use it as a display for decorative items. When it comes to cleaning, since the fabric has a 'W' cleaning code, you can use a mild detergent and a damp cloth to gently clean the upholstered seat. For the rattan body, just wipe it down with a dry cloth regularly to keep it looking good. Avoid placing the bench in direct sunlight for long periods as it may fade the rattan or the fabric. Also, don't put too much weight on it beyond its capacity.
