To use this bench, simply place it in your bedroom or living room. It's great for sitting on while you're getting dressed or as an extra seating option when you have guests. When it comes to assembly, you'll need to put the legs on. Just follow the included instructions carefully. For maintenance, keep it clean by spot - cleaning any stains as soon as you notice them. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the fabric or the wood finish. Also, try to keep it away from direct sunlight for long periods to prevent the color from fading.
