Know before you buy
Yes, the bench is specifically designed for easy disassembly. It utilizes metal-to-metal fastenings and a wedged tenon joinery system, allowing you to break it down and reassemble it using the included tool without compromising the structure.
No, the Nomad Bench is intended for indoor use only. The solid hardwood construction and genuine leather accents are not treated to withstand the elements, moisture, or direct sunlight found outdoors.
The genuine leather wraps add a tactile, premium detail to the design while providing a soft touch point. As with all natural leather, they will develop a unique patina over time and should be kept away from direct heat sources to prevent drying.
For the best aesthetic and functional balance, we recommend choosing a bench length that allows it to tuck neatly between the table legs. Measure the space between your table's legs to ensure the 38", 48", or 55.5" length fits comfortably.
No professional assembly is required. The bench arrives ready for you to put together using the provided tool, and the straightforward design ensures the process is quick and intuitive.
To maintain the wood's natural beauty, simply dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or excessive water, as these can damage the finish and the integrity of the solid hardwood.
