This antique bench seat is super easy to use. Just place it where you need seating, like in your living room or hallway. It can be used for sitting while putting on shoes or as an extra seat during gatherings. When it comes to maintenance, keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent the wood from fading. Wipe it down regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the wood's finish. If there are any spills, clean them up right away with a mild soap and water solution.
