Using your new white and black rustic wooden counter - height bench is easy. First, you'll need to assemble it as it requires full assembly. Follow the instructions carefully to ensure all parts are correctly put together. Once assembled, place it in your desired location, whether it's in your dining area or as an entryway bench. When you want to use the storage space, simply lift the seat up and place your items inside. To keep your bench looking great, wipe it down regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the wood finish. Since the product contains formaldehyde and has a Prop65 warning, make sure to keep it in a well - ventilated area. If you have any concerns about the chemical content, it's a good idea to consult the warning label on the product.
