Using this bench is super easy! Just place it in your dining area and start enjoying your meals with family and friends. When it comes to cleaning, simply use a mild soap and a damp cloth to wipe the faux leather surface. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the material. For the weathered cherry finish, a gentle dusting with a soft cloth regularly will keep it looking great. Be careful not to place heavy or sharp objects on the bench to prevent scratches or dents. If you move the bench, lift it carefully to avoid damaging the pedestal bases. With proper care, this bench will serve you well for a long time.
