Using the Pina Solid Wood Shoe Bench is easy. Simply place it in your entryway or hallway. You can sit on it to put on or take off your shoes. When it comes to assembly, follow the clear instructions provided and use the included hardware. It's a straightforward process that won't take much of your time. As for maintenance, wipe it down regularly with a soft, dry cloth to keep the cherry finish looking great. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they could damage the wood. Make sure to adjust the plastic levelers under the legs if the bench isn't sitting evenly on the floor. This will not only keep it stable but also protect your floors from scratches.
