Know before you buy
The trestle base provides superior structural stability compared to four-legged designs while offering more legroom underneath. This configuration allows for easier entry and exit, especially when the bench is tucked against a dining table.
Consider both durability and aesthetics. Hardwoods like Hickory and Hard Maple are exceptionally dense and resistant to dents, while Oak and Cherry offer distinct grain patterns that age beautifully over time. If you prefer a more rustic look, the Rustic wood options feature natural character marks like knots and mineral streaks.
With a standard height of 18 inches, this bench is designed to fit comfortably under most standard dining tables. We recommend measuring the clearance between your floor and the underside of your table's apron to ensure a smooth fit.
The Mission style emphasizes clean lines, functional simplicity, and exposed joinery. This approach relies on solid wood construction and traditional Amish techniques, resulting in a sturdy, minimalist piece that prioritizes long-term durability over decorative flourishes.
Yes, the solid hardwood construction makes this bench durable enough for high-traffic areas. Because it is handcrafted from solid timber, it can easily withstand daily use in an entryway, mudroom, or at the foot of a bed.
To maintain the finish, dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners. We recommend using a high-quality furniture polish occasionally and keeping the bench away from direct heat sources or extreme humidity to prevent the wood from expanding or contracting.
