Using this bench is super easy. Just place it in your entryway to take off your shoes, in the living room for extra seating, or at the foot of your bed. It's built to last, but to keep it looking great, clean it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the gun - metal finish. If it gets dirty, a mild soap and water solution can be used, but make sure to dry it thoroughly afterward. Also, be careful not to scratch the surface with sharp objects. That's all you need to know to enjoy your new bench for years to come.
