Using your white solid wood shoe bench is easy. First, assemble it following the included instructions and hardware. Once assembled, place it in your hallway or mudroom. You can store your shoes inside the bench and use the top as a seating area to put on or take off your shoes. For maintenance, wipe it down regularly with a soft, dry cloth to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they may damage the wood finish. When moving the bench, lift it carefully to prevent scratches or dents. Also, keep in mind that the actual color may look a bit different from the photo because of monitor settings. Enjoy the practicality and charm this bench brings to your home.
