Using this bench is easy - just place it where you need extra seating, like in an entryway or at the foot of a bed. When it comes to maintenance, regularly dust the bench with a soft cloth. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight for long periods to prevent the fabric from fading. If there are any spills, quickly blot them with a clean, dry cloth. For more stubborn stains, use a mild fabric cleaner according to the care instructions for furn benches and ottomans. Be gentle when moving the bench to avoid scratching the dark mahogany accents.
