Know before you buy
The wood types vary primarily in grain pattern, hardness, and how they accept stain. For example, Oak and Quartersawn White Oak feature prominent, distinct grain patterns, while Brown Maple offers a smoother, more uniform surface that is ideal for darker stains.
The leaf options allow you to extend the length of the bench to accommodate more guests or fit larger dining tables. When not in use, the leaves can be removed and stored separately to maintain the bench's streamlined profile.
Yes, the backless design makes it an excellent choice for entryways or foyers where you want to maximize seating without visually crowding the space. Its solid wood construction ensures it is sturdy enough for daily use in high-traffic areas.
No, this bench is strictly designed for indoor use. Exposure to fluctuating humidity and temperature levels found outdoors can cause the solid wood to warp or crack over time.
The seating capacity depends on the length you choose. While the base model is designed for two, selecting a longer size with additional leaves will comfortably accommodate more guests depending on your table size.
As a handcrafted piece, the bench may arrive in sections to ensure safe transport. Minimal assembly is typically required to attach the legs or base to the seat, and all necessary hardware is included.
