Know before you buy
Yes, the bench is designed to function as both a stylish seating piece and a daybed. Its 82-inch width provides ample surface area for lounging.
The configuration refers to the placement of the back support slats. You should choose the orientation based on where the bench will be placed in your room to ensure the back support is positioned against the wall or in the desired direction.
No, the Knox Bench features a tight seat cushion, meaning it is permanently attached to the frame. This design ensures the bench maintains its clean, tailored mid-century aesthetic over time.
The bench uses premium high-density, high-resiliency foam. This provides a supportive, firm sit that holds its shape well, even with frequent use.
The lumbar pillows are an optional add-on. If you prefer extra support or a more layered look, you can select the set of two pillows during your configuration.
The brushed stainless steel legs can be kept clean by wiping them down with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners to maintain the integrity of the brushed finish.
