Using your new bench is easy. First, assemble it following the included instructions. Once assembled, place it in your desired location, like a hallway or foyer. You can sit on it to put on or take off your shoes, or just relax for a bit. To keep it in good shape, avoid placing it in direct sunlight for long periods as it may fade the wood finish and the cushion color. Clean the wood with a soft, dry cloth regularly. For the cushion, spot clean it with a mild detergent and water if there are any stains. If you need to move the bench, lift it carefully to avoid any damage to the legs or frame. Enjoy your stylish and comfortable bench for years to come!
