Using your Skagerak Hven Bench is simple. Just place it where you need extra seating, like in your living room, dining area, or entryway. It comfortably seats 2 to 3 people, so it's great for family gatherings or when you have guests. When it comes to maintenance, if you've chosen the white soaped or oiled finishes, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe it down regularly to keep it looking its best. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the finish. For the untreated bench, you might want to apply a natural wood oil every few months to maintain its natural look and protect the wood. Since it's a special order item, it's non - returnable, but don't worry, we'll take care of you if there are any shipping damages or defects. Also, be careful when moving the bench to prevent scratches or dents. With proper care, your Skagerak Hven Bench will last for many years.
