Using this bench is easy. Just place it in your desired spot, like the living room or bedroom, for extra seating. When sitting on it, be gentle to avoid any damage to the tufted silk cushions. For cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to dust the bench regularly. If there are stains on the cushions, spot - clean them with a mild detergent and a damp cloth, then let them air - dry. Avoid placing the bench in direct sunlight for long periods as it may fade the color of the silk and the distressed finish.
