Using the Shane Bench is easy. Just place it in your desired spot, whether it's at the foot of your bed, in an entryway, or in a living room. It's perfect for sitting on while you put on your shoes or as extra seating for guests. When it comes to maintenance, for the beech wood part, you can use a soft, dry cloth to dust it regularly. To keep the leather looking great, use a leather cleaner and conditioner every few months. Avoid placing the bench in direct sunlight for long periods as this can fade the wood and leather. Also, be careful not to spill liquids on it. If a spill occurs, clean it up immediately with a damp cloth.
