Using the Sebastian Storage Bench is a breeze. First, assemble it following the detailed instructions included. Once it's set up, you can start using the drawers and rattan baskets to store all sorts of things like clothes, books, or toys. The removable linen blend cushion makes for a comfortable seat. Just plop down and relax. When it comes to maintenance, take off the cushion regularly for a good clean. This will keep it looking fresh. As for the bench itself, wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth to keep the acacia wood and rattan in good condition. Avoid placing it in very damp areas to prevent damage to the wood and rattan. If you have any heavy items, distribute their weight evenly in the drawers and baskets to maintain the bench's stability.
