Operating Instructions

Using as a Seat:

• The padded seat provides a comfortable surface for sitting, ideal for putting on or taking off shoes.
• Ensure the bench is placed on a flat, stable surface before use.
• Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 120 kg (approximately 264 lbs) on the seat.

Using the Shoe Shelf:

• The slatted shelf below the seat is designed to store up to 4 pairs of shoes.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your WENKO Ecori Bamboo Bench.

Bamboo Frame Care:

• Cleaning: Wipe the bamboo frame with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution, then wipe dry immediately.
• Avoid Moisture: Bamboo is sensitive to excessive moisture. Do not expose the bench to prolonged dampness or direct water.
• Sunlight: Avoid direct sunlight exposure for extended periods, as this can cause the bamboo to fade or dry out.
• Protection: Periodically, you may apply a bamboo-safe oil or wax to maintain its natural luster and protect the wood.

Seat Padding Care:

• Cleaning: The cover is made from 100% recycled polyester. Spot clean with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Blot dry.
• Stains: Address spills immediately to prevent permanent staining.
• Do Not Machine Wash: The seat padding is not designed for machine washing or tumble drying.
