Know before you buy
The integrated tray slides smoothly along the length of the bench, allowing you to position it wherever you need a surface for a drink or book. It is designed to stay on the frame, so it is not intended to be removed for use as a standalone tray.
Yes, the bench features a poly/linen-blend fabric specifically chosen for its durability. While it offers the soft aesthetic of linen, the polyester content provides the necessary resilience to withstand daily use in an entryway.
The bench is constructed from solid oak and is designed to comfortably seat two adults. It has a sturdy build, though we recommend avoiding exceeding a standard weight capacity for a two-person bench.
For the solid oak frame, wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth to maintain the finish. For the upholstery, we recommend spot cleaning with a mild, water-free solvent or a professional upholstery cleaner to preserve the fabric's texture and color.
The Fawkes Bench typically arrives with minimal assembly required. Please refer to the included instructions to ensure the solid oak frame is securely connected before use.
