Using this bench is super easy. Just place it in your living room or entryway where you need extra seating. You can put it against a wall or in the middle of a small space. For maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off dust regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they might damage the natural linen upholstery or the reclaimed oak frame. If there are any spills, quickly blot them with a clean cloth. Also, try to keep the bench away from direct sunlight for long periods to prevent fading of the linen and warping of the wood.
