Using this bench is a breeze. You can place it in your living room as extra seating or by the door for shoe - changing. When sitting on it, just make sure you're centered to evenly distribute your weight for maximum stability. For cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the wooden texture sticker. Also, keep the bench away from direct sunlight for long periods, as this could cause the color to fade. If you notice the anti - slip feet are getting worn out, you can replace them easily to maintain the bench's safety features.
