Know before you buy
This piece has been meticulously restored by Stamford Modern to ensure it is in excellent condition. While it retains its original 1950s integrity, the restoration process ensures it is structurally sound and aesthetically refreshed for modern use.
The tufted cushion is designed as an integral part of the bench's aesthetic and comfort profile. It is intended to remain in place to maintain the piece's intended sculptural silhouette.
To maintain the luster of the ebonized mahogany, dust regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or wax polishes, as these can dull the finish or damage the wood over time.
At 18 inches high, this bench is at a standard dining height, making it a functional and stylish alternative to traditional dining chairs. Ensure your table has enough clearance underneath to accommodate the 62-inch width.
The nickel sabots are the metal caps found at the base of the bench's legs. While they serve as a sophisticated design detail that highlights the mid-century aesthetic, they also provide a protective finish for the wood feet.
Velvet is a resilient fabric, but it is best suited for areas where it won't be subjected to heavy, daily wear. We recommend keeping it out of direct sunlight to prevent the blue hue from fading over time.
