Using this Four Hands Lindy Bench is a breeze. You can place it at the foot of your bed to add a touch of style and have a spot to sit while putting on your shoes. It can also be used in hallways or living rooms as extra seating. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the leather regularly to keep it looking great. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight for long periods as it may fade the leather. As for the iron base, check it occasionally for any signs of rust, and if you notice any, you can use a mild metal cleaner. Since this item is oversized and non - returnable, handle it with care during delivery and placement to prevent any damage.
