This Santa Barbara bench is a great addition to your space. You can place it in your entryway, living room, or bedroom. Just make sure the surface is flat so the adjustable glides can work properly. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If there are smudges, dampen a soft cloth slightly and clean the bench, then dry it immediately with a dry cloth. Always follow the grain direction while cleaning. Avoid letting liquids stand on the surface as it can damage the finish. Since it has a PROP 65 warning due to wood dust, keep it in a well - ventilated area.
