What customers say
Customers consistently praise the Amish Almanzo Extend A Bench for its exceptional craftsmanship and clever design. The solid wood construction feels substantial and built to last for generations. Users appreciate the seamless extension mechanism which makes it easy to accommodate extra guests without sacrificing style. The aesthetic blends traditional techniques with modern functionality.

Know before you buy
The bench features a telescoping design that allows it to expand from 59 inches up to 107 inches. This flexibility lets you adjust the seating capacity based on your table size and the number of guests.
While the wood retains authentic character marks like nail holes and saw marks, the surface is finished to be functional for dining. The Mission Roundover edge and hand-worn corners ensure the bench is comfortable to sit on without sharp edges.
The bench stands 18 inches high, which is the standard height for most dining tables. As long as your table has a standard apron height, the bench should slide underneath easily when not in use.
Reclaimed wood is durable, but you should avoid harsh chemical cleaners. Simply wipe the bench down with a soft, damp cloth and dry it immediately to preserve the finish and the natural patina of the wood.
The bench is shipped as a finished piece of furniture, though some minor assembly may be required depending on the specific configuration. Please refer to the included instructions to ensure the extension mechanism is properly aligned.
Because the bench is crafted from 100% authentic reclaimed barnwood, each piece will have unique color variations, grain patterns, and natural imperfections. These variations are part of the wood's history and ensure that no two benches are exactly alike.
