Using your new bench is easy. Once you've fully assembled it using the included tools, place it in your living room as a stylish seating option or an extra decorative piece. When sitting on it, you can enjoy the comfort of the fabric - upholstered seat. As for maintenance, regularly vacuum the fabric to keep it free from dust. Avoid placing sharp objects on the bench to prevent damage to the fabric and the nailhead trim. Since it contains formaldehyde, make sure to keep it in a well - ventilated area. If the bench gets dirty, use a mild fabric cleaner according to the cleaner's instructions. Always handle the bench carefully, especially when moving it, to prevent any damage to the solid wood frame and the legs.
