Using this Ergani bench is super easy. You can place it in your living room, bedroom, or hallway. It's great for sitting on while you put on your shoes or as extra seating when you have guests. Since it can hold up to 220 pounds, you don't have to worry about overloading it. When it comes to maintenance, always use a dry cloth to clean it. Avoid using wet or damp cloths as they might damage the wool upholstery. Also, try to keep it away from direct sunlight for long periods to prevent the colors from fading. If you notice any loose parts, check the hand - knotted areas carefully and contact the manufacturer if needed. With proper care, this bench will serve you well for years.
