Using this bench is a breeze. You can place it at the foot of your bed as a stylish footrest or in your entryway to sit on while putting on shoes. When cleaning, simply use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the grey PU upholstery. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the finish. For the gold - finished metal legs, a dry cloth is enough to keep them shiny. Don't place heavy objects on it for a long time to maintain its shape.
