Using this Homcom shoe bench is super easy. First, you can place it in your entryway or living room. When you want to store your shoes, just grab the comfortable handles on the flip - open drawers and pull them open. Then, adjust the internal dividers according to the size of your shoes, like ankle boots or high heels. Put your shoes neatly inside the drawers. If you need to sit down to put on or take off your shoes, the thick padded cushion covered with breathable fabric will make you feel comfortable. As for maintenance, you can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface of the bench regularly. Keep it away from sharp objects to avoid scratching the MDF frame. Also, make sure the bench is placed on a flat surface to prevent it from tipping over. The anti - tipping design is there for your safety, but it's still important to be careful. And the ventilation holes at the back will help keep your shoes fresh, so don't block them.
