Know before you buy
The hand-carved surface is designed to be tactile and engaging rather than rough. While it provides a distinct sensory experience, the bench is finished to be smooth enough for comfortable seating during meals or extended use.
No, the Touch Bench arrives fully assembled. It is crafted as a solid, single-piece construction, ensuring structural integrity and stability right out of the box.
To maintain the natural beauty of the wood, wipe the bench with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or excessive water, and consider applying a wood-specific oil periodically to nourish the finish, depending on the wood type you select.
Because each bench is hand-carved by artisans, the specific patterns and wood grain will vary from piece to piece. You should expect your bench to be a one-of-a-kind item with unique characteristics that differ slightly from the marketing imagery.
Yes, the bench features a full backrest designed to provide ergonomic support. It is specifically engineered for dining environments, offering a balance between the aesthetic of a bench and the comfort of a traditional chair.
All available wood options—maple, oak, and walnut—are durable, solid hardwoods. Oak and walnut are generally considered the most resilient for daily use, though all finishes are treated with high-quality oils to protect the wood against typical household wear.
