Know before you buy
The bench utilizes a leaf system that allows you to expand the seating capacity as needed. Depending on your configuration, you can choose between a solid top or models that accommodate two or four leaves for larger gatherings.
The wood types vary primarily in grain pattern and hardness. For example, Oak and Quartersawn White Oak offer prominent, durable grain textures, while Brown Maple and Cherry provide a smoother, more uniform finish that takes stains exceptionally well.
To ensure a cohesive look, we provide physical stain samples for your approval before production begins. This allows you to view the finish in your home's specific lighting conditions.
While it is a hallmark of modern farmhouse style, the breadboard construction also serves a functional purpose by helping to stabilize the wood planks and minimize seasonal movement.
Solid wood requires minimal care, but it is best to avoid harsh chemical cleaners. Simply dust with a soft cloth and use a mild wood-safe polish occasionally to maintain the finish and protect the wood's natural integrity.
Yes, the Chesapeake bench is designed with a versatile modern farmhouse aesthetic that pairs well with a variety of dining chair styles. However, it is also part of a matching dining set if you prefer a perfectly coordinated look.
