Using the Moira bench is simple. Just place it where you need extra seating, like in your living room or entryway. When using it, be aware that because of the natural paper rope, you should avoid letting it touch strongly dyed fabrics. This will stop the rope from getting discolored. For maintenance, regularly dust the bench with a soft, dry cloth. You can clean the wood frame with a mild wood cleaner, but don't soak it. Keep the bench in a dry environment to prevent any damage to the wood. Enjoy the unique charm of this hand - crafted bench for years to come.
