{"product_id":"abelone-wooden-bench-black","title":"Abelone Wooden Bench - Black","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis black bench pairs mango wood with iron: a lidded storage box held in a slim metal frame, with an open slatted shelf beneath the box. It measures 102cm long, 40cm wide and 58cm tall, so it sits neatly against a wall without eating into a narrow hallway, and the box runs almost the full length of the frame. The black iron frame rises into a low rail across the back and short arms at each end, giving the bench a light, open outline for something with this much storage. Storage comes in two kinds: hidden inside the box and on show beneath it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lid lifts on hinges to open the storage compartment, which makes this a natural fit for a hallway: a place to sit while you pull on boots, and a box to hide hats, gloves and scarves. The slatted shelf suits shoes, a basket or a stack of books. It works just as well at the foot of a bed for spare blankets and bedding, or in a living room as extra seating with somewhere to tuck away magazines and games. The black finish suits a modern or industrial room and looks good beside natural textures such as woven baskets, wool and linen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe frame and legs are black iron, the bench has a powder-coated and lacquered finish, and care is simple: wipe it clean with a moist cloth. Mango is a hardwood with a lively grain, and the grain still shows faintly through the black. The bench weighs 19.5KG, a solid weight worth bearing in mind if it has to go up a flight of stairs. The maker's assembly instructions come as a PDF download. For styling, fold a throw across one end of the lid and slide a woven basket onto the shelf: the pale texture softens the black and keeps the look relaxed rather than severe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e102cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e58cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMango, Iron\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePowder coated\/Lacquer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLegs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack Iron\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCare\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWipe clean with a moist cloth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.5KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/bloomingville-82064986-assembly-instructions.pdf?v=1791139239\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAssembly instructions (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich materials make up the bench?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bench combines mango wood with iron.
