Using your new bench is easy! Just place it in your dining room where you want to add extra seating. It's great for having more people sit around the table during meals or get - togethers. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the wooden parts. For the fabric seat, you can use a mild fabric cleaner. Make sure to test it on a small, hidden area first to avoid any discoloration. As for maintenance, check the feet regularly to ensure they're still firmly attached. Since the product has a Prop65 warning due to formaldehyde, keep it in a well - ventilated area. If you notice any signs of wear or damage, contact the seller or manufacturer for advice. And always follow the specific instructions based on the color, size, and material you've chosen for your bench.
