This vintage wooden bucket is quite versatile. You can use it to store small items like toys, tools, or even as a decorative flower holder. When using it to hold liquids, keep in mind that it's an old piece and might not be completely watertight. For cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to dust it regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or soaking it in water as this can damage the wood. If you notice any loose parts, handle it gently to prevent further damage. Store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its rustic appearance.
