Using your Elowen bench is a breeze. Just place it in your living room or entryway where you need some extra seating or a stylish accent. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the stainless - steel base regularly to keep it looking shiny. For the bergen olive fabric, vacuum it occasionally to remove dust. Avoid placing the bench in direct sunlight for long periods as it may fade the fabric. Also, keep it away from sharp objects to prevent scratches on the base and tears in the fabric.
