Using your new dining bench is easy. Just place it where you'd like it in your dining area, and you're ready to sit and enjoy your meals. When it comes to cleaning, for the solid wood parts, simply wipe them down with a soft, dry cloth regularly. For the dark grey upholstered cushion, you can vacuum it gently to remove dust. If there are any spills, blot them immediately with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals on either the wood or the cushion as this can damage them. Also, try not to place the bench in direct sunlight for long periods, as this may cause the wood to dry out and the cushion color to fade. With proper care, your bench will look great and last for years.
