Using this bench is a breeze. Just place it in your living area where you need extra seating. You and your guests can comfortably sit on the soft cushion rolls. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dust regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they may damage the black finish on the solid wood or the boucle fabric. If there are any spills on the cushion rolls, blot them immediately with a clean cloth. For assembly, follow the included instructions carefully. Make sure all the parts are tightly secured to ensure the bench's stability.
