To use this bench, simply place it in your desired location, like a living room or hallway. It's great for seating multiple people or as a decorative piece. Since it's heavy, make sure the floor can support its weight. When it comes to maintenance, dust it regularly with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the wood finish. If there are any stains, use a mild wood cleaner. Store it in a dry place to prevent the wood from warping.
