Using your Vanora Bench is easy. Just place it in your desired spot in the living room, entryway, or bedroom. It can be used for sitting while putting on shoes in the entryway, as extra seating in the living room, or at the end of your bed. As for maintenance, simply wipe it with a dry cloth regularly to keep its white finish looking great. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the wood. When moving it, be careful due to its 69 - pound weight. It's a freight - only item, so professional handling during transportation is recommended.
