Using this bench is easy! Just place it in your dining area, kitchen, or breakfast nook. It can comfortably seat one person with a weight capacity of up to 300lbs. When it comes to cleaning, since the fabric has a cleaning code of Upholstery (S), use a dry cleaning solvent. Avoid getting the chenille upholstery too wet as it may damage the fabric. To maintain its beautiful dark cherry finish on the wood frame, dust it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Keep it away from direct sunlight for long periods to prevent the color from fading. With proper care, this bench will serve you well for a long time.
