Using this bench seat is easy. You can place it in your dining area, hallway, or even in front of a window. Just make sure the surface is flat and stable. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the oak frame regularly. For the rattan seat, a gentle vacuum with a soft brush attachment can help remove dust. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight for long periods as this may cause the wood to fade and the rattan to dry out. Also, try not to spill liquids on the bench; if you do, clean it up immediately to prevent stains.
