This bench seat is perfect for indoor use. You can place it in your living room, hallway, or bedroom. To use it, simply sit on it like you would any other seat. When cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to dust it regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they may damage the wood. If the bench gets wet, dry it immediately to prevent warping. For long - term maintenance, you can apply a light coat of wood polish once in a while to keep it looking its best.
