Using this bench is a breeze! You can place it at the foot of your bed to sit on while you put on your shoes or relax. It also works great in a cozy corner of your living room or bedroom. Since it doesn't require assembly, you can start using it right after it's delivered. When it comes to maintenance, the fabric has a water - based cleaning code. So, if there's a spill or stain, you can gently clean it with a water - based cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the fabric. To keep the bench looking its best, try to keep it away from direct sunlight for long periods, as this could fade the rich Mink color. Also, if you move the bench around, do it carefully to prevent any scratches on the Quartered Oak Veneers.
