Know before you buy
The soft-close mechanism prevents the lid from slamming shut, which protects the wood finish and keeps fingers safe. It allows the lid to lower gently and quietly, making it ideal for households with children.
The storage compartment features a consistent depth of 12 1/2 inches. While the total width of the bench varies between 36 and 48 inches, the interior provides ample room for blankets, board games, or seasonal footwear.
All options are 100% solid hardwood, ensuring structural integrity regardless of the species chosen. Harder woods like Hickory or Hard Maple offer superior resistance to dents and scratches, while woods like Brown Maple or Cherry provide a smoother grain pattern that takes stains very evenly.
The cushion is strictly a matter of personal preference and comfort. While the solid wood seat is durable and easy to wipe clean, adding the cushion provides a softer surface if you plan on using the bench frequently for putting on shoes or as extra seating.
Yes, the bench is highly customizable. Because it is handcrafted from solid wood, you can select from a wide range of stains and finishes to coordinate with your current decor, ensuring a cohesive look in your entryway.
The bent paddle design is ergonomically shaped to provide a comfortable, upright backrest. It is designed to offer stable support while maintaining the classic, open aesthetic of colonial-style furniture.
