Using this bench is super easy! Just place it wherever you need an extra seat in your home, like near the entrance or at the end of your bed. When sitting on it, make sure not to exceed the weight capacity of XX lbs to keep it in good shape. For maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the leather seatpad regularly. If there are any spills on the leather, clean them up right away with a mild leather cleaner. For the oak - ish wood part, a simple dusting with a microfiber cloth will do the trick. Keep the bench away from direct sunlight to prevent the color from fading over time.
