Know before you buy
The wood options range from softer, more uniform grains like Brown Maple to harder, more distinct textures like Hickory and Quarter Sawn White Oak. Choosing a wood type affects both the final aesthetic and the overall durability, so consider your home's existing decor and the level of daily wear the bench will face.
The bench features a built-in storage compartment designed specifically to house up to four table extensions. This keeps your extra leaves organized and protected from warping when they are not in use.
Yes, it is designed as a versatile alternative to traditional dining chairs. Its 18-inch height is standard for dining tables, providing a comfortable and social seating experience for multiple people.
Absolutely. Because it is constructed from solid hardwood using traditional Amish techniques, it is built to withstand the daily rigors of an entryway, including sitting to put on shoes or placing heavy bags on the surface.
The Mission edge is a clean, squared-off profile on the edge of the bench top. It is a hallmark of the Mission furniture style, emphasizing simple, straight lines and functional design.
To keep the wood in top condition, avoid placing the bench in direct sunlight or near heat sources that could cause the wood to dry out. Use a soft, damp cloth for regular cleaning and avoid harsh chemical cleaners that can damage the finish.
