Using this bench is a breeze. Just place it at your counter - height dining area and enjoy your meals comfortably. When it comes to cleaning, you can use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the faux leather seat. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the upholstery. For the wooden parts, a gentle wood cleaner will do the trick. Make sure to keep the bench away from direct sunlight for long periods, as this can cause the color of the brown finish to fade. If you move the bench, lift it instead of dragging to prevent damage to the legs. With proper care, this bench will serve you well for years to come.
