Using this vintage bench seat is easy. Just place it in the area you want, like your living room or hallway, and it's ready for use. You can sit on it to relax, put on shoes, or even use it as extra seating for guests. When it comes to maintenance, keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent the wood from fading. Wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the wood finish. If there are any small scratches, you can use a wood - friendly polish to minimize their appearance. And be careful not to put too much weight on it at once to maintain its structure over time.
