Using your Ferm Living small plant box is super easy. You can put it on a windowsill and plant some small herbs or succulents. If you don't want to use it for plants, just place your mittens, perfumes, or books inside. When it comes to maintenance, simply wipe it with a soft, dry cloth every now and then to keep it looking good. As for the powder - coated metal, avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may scratch the surface. And remember, if you're not satisfied with your purchase, you can return it within 30 days.
