Using your Stockholm bench is a breeze. Just place it in your desired spot in a sophisticated space, like a living room or a patio. For regular use, simply sit on it as you would with any bench. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to dust the teak frame and seagrass seat regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the natural seagrass and the teak finish. Since there's a Prop 65 warning about wood dust, be careful if you need to sand or make any modifications to the bench. Keep it in a dry area to prevent the seagrass from getting moldy. Also, because each bench is unique due to the natural seagrass, don't expect it to look exactly like the pictures, but that's part of its charm.
