Know before you buy
The straight apron offers a clean, minimalist look that emphasizes the bench's linear geometry. The arched apron provides a subtle, decorative curve that adds a touch of traditional Shaker character while maintaining a refined profile.
The finish is designed to be low-maintenance and easy to refresh. Simply wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth for daily cleaning, and apply a high-quality furniture wax or oil periodically to maintain the wood's luster and protective barrier.
Yes, each bench is handcrafted in Vermont and arrives fully assembled. You can place it directly into your space without the need for tools or complex setup.
Cherry starts as a light pinkish-brown and deepens to a rich, reddish-patina over time. Maple is a dense, light-toned wood with a consistent grain, while Walnut offers a darker, sophisticated chocolate hue with striking, varied grain patterns.
Because the bench is finished with natural oils and waxes rather than synthetic lacquers, there are little to no VOCs present upon delivery. It is a safe, non-toxic choice for homes with children or pets.
The lifetime guarantee covers defects in materials and craftsmanship, ensuring your investment is protected against structural issues. It reflects the maker's confidence in the bench's solid hardwood construction and joinery.
