Using this Shelton linen bench is super easy. Just place it in your home entryway and it's ready to use. Guests can sit on it to take off their shoes or put down their things. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the linen upholstery regularly to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they may damage the linen. If there are any stains, try to spot clean them with a mild detergent and water. Also, be careful not to put too much weight on one side of the bench to prevent it from tipping over. And that's all you need to know to keep your bench looking great and functioning well for a long time.
