To use this bench, simply place it in your desired indoor location like a living room or hallway. It's great for sitting on while you put on shoes or as extra seating during gatherings. When it comes to maintenance, dust it regularly with a soft cloth to keep its wooden finish looking great. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight for long periods as this can cause the wood to fade. If it gets dirty, you can use a mild wood cleaner, but make sure to test it on a small, hidden area first. Also, be careful not to drag heavy objects across the bench to prevent scratches.
