Using your Foundations Dark Shale Bench is easy. Just place it in the space you like, be it your living room, hallway, or bedroom. Once it's in place, adjust the glides so it sits evenly on the floor. Assembly is required, so make sure to follow the instructions carefully. When it comes to maintenance, keep it clean by dusting it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. If you notice any smudges, use a soft, slightly damp cloth to clean them up, and then dry it right away with a soft, dry cloth. Always remember to follow the grain of the wood when cleaning. Also, avoid letting liquids stand on the surface as this could damage the wood. Be aware that the bench has a PROP 65 warning due to wood dust, so take appropriate precautions during assembly and use.
