Know before you buy
The bench is available in both oak and teak. While the teak version is naturally weather-resistant and suitable for outdoor use, the oak version is intended primarily for indoor environments to maintain the integrity of the wood.
The Cutter Bench is delivered flat-packed and requires assembly. All necessary hardware and instructions are included to ensure a straightforward setup.
The bench is constructed with a sturdy frame designed for standard seating use. It comfortably supports the weight of two adults, making it reliable for entryways or as extra seating.
No, the Cutter Boxes are sold separately. They are specifically designed to slide underneath the bench, providing a modular storage solution for shoes or accessories.
To maintain the wood's appearance, wipe it clean with a soft, damp cloth. Depending on the finish, you may occasionally need to apply a wood oil specifically formulated for oak or teak to prevent the material from drying out.
