This workbench is super easy to use. Just place your woodworking tools on it and start your project. When using the vices, make sure to tighten them properly to hold your materials firmly. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry place to prevent the wood from warping. Regularly clean the surface with a soft cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the wood, as it could damage the finish. If there are any small scratches, you can use some wood polish to make it look good as new.
