Know before you buy
The bench is finished with a clear lacquer, which provides a protective barrier against spills and daily wear. Simply wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth as needed and avoid harsh chemical cleaners to preserve the finish.
The legs are secured to the solid cherry top using heavy-duty lag bolts. This method ensures a rigid, stable connection capable of supporting regular dining use.
As a clearance piece, this bench may exhibit minor cosmetic imperfections or signs of wear from handling or display. These marks are purely aesthetic and do not compromise the structural integrity of the handcrafted wood or steel frame.
With a height of 18 inches, this bench is designed to fit comfortably under standard dining tables, which typically sit between 28 and 30 inches high. We recommend measuring your table's apron height to ensure there is enough clearance for your legs.
Yes, natural cherry wood is photosensitive and will darken and develop a richer, deeper patina as it is exposed to light. This is a natural characteristic of the material that adds to its character over the years.
