Know before you buy
The wood species vary in grain pattern, hardness, and how they accept stain. For example, Quarter Sawn White Oak is prized for its distinct ray flake patterns and structural stability, while Brown Maple offers a smooth, uniform grain that is ideal for painted or dark-stained finishes.
The Cornelius Mission bench features a traditional Mission-style backrest designed with a slight ergonomic tilt for comfort, rather than a strictly vertical 90-degree angle.
Yes, you can customize the seat with your choice of wood, fabric, or leather. If you opt for fabric, we offer various tiers including Crypton options, which are GREENGUARD Gold certified for enhanced durability and stain resistance.
The depth and height remain consistent across all sizes at 17 inches deep and 42.5 inches high. The width increases based on your selection, so ensure you measure your intended space to account for the specific width of the 36-inch or 48-inch model.
Because this piece is handcrafted by Amish woodworkers, it is typically shipped in a way that requires minimal to no assembly. Please verify the specific delivery method at checkout to confirm if your item arrives fully assembled or in a few simple-to-connect sections.
To preserve the wood, dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners. If you choose a fabric or leather seat, follow the specific care instructions provided for those materials to prevent staining or drying.
