Using this shoe storage bench is a breeze. Just pull out the drawer to access the storage space for your shoes. You can use it as a seat while you're putting on or taking off your shoes in the entryway or bedroom. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface regularly to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they might damage the buffalo hide and the Oak - like finish. Also, place the bench in a dry area to prevent moisture from affecting the material. If there are any spills, clean them up immediately to avoid stains.
