Know before you buy
The bench includes four 12-inch leaves that can be inserted to increase the total length of the seating area. This allows you to adjust the bench size to accommodate more guests as needed, matching the flexibility of your dining table.
While it is specifically designed to complement the aesthetic and height of the Amish Canterbury Table, it can be used as a standalone seating piece in entryways or dining rooms. Its versatile design allows it to function independently of the matching table.
Hardwoods like Hickory and Quartersawn White Oak are excellent choices for high-traffic areas due to their superior density and resistance to wear. If you prefer a smoother grain, Cherry is a durable option that develops a rich patina over time.
The base model of the bench measures 48 inches in length. You can also select larger base sizes of 60 or 72 inches if you require a longer starting point before adding the extension leaves.
No, this piece is crafted specifically for indoor use. The wood finishes and joinery techniques are designed for climate-controlled environments and may warp or degrade if exposed to outdoor humidity and temperature fluctuations.
