Using your Playa Small Bench is easy. Simply place it in your desired spot, whether it's in your living room, hallway, or patio. It can be used as extra seating or as a decorative piece. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the metal base regularly to keep its gunmetal finish looking great. For the seagrass seat, gently vacuum it to remove dust. Avoid placing the bench in direct sunlight for long periods as it may cause the seagrass to fade. Also, keep it away from excessive moisture to prevent damage to the seagrass. Remember, this product contains nickel, so be aware of the California Prop 65 warning.
