Know before you buy
The bench measures 26 inches wide, 16 1/4 inches deep, and stands 20 1/2 inches tall.
The gold leaf is applied over sturdy acacia solids. While it provides a high-end, reflective aesthetic, it should be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth to maintain its luster and prevent scratching.
The seat is upholstered in a soft, taupe-colored velvet. It offers a smooth, tactile feel and a neutral tone that complements the metallic gold finish of the base.
At 26 inches wide, this bench is best suited for a twin bed or as a compact accent piece. It may appear undersized if placed at the foot of a standard queen or king bed, where a longer bench is typically preferred for visual balance.
The button tufting is a decorative detail that adds depth to the velvet. To keep it looking its best, you can occasionally use a soft brush attachment on a vacuum to remove dust from the crevices around the buttons.
