Boden Bench - Yale Blue with Black

The Boden bench brings a padded seat to your home, upholstered in Yale Blue chenille and set on a matt black metal frame. Measuring 1210mm wide, 415mm deep and 465mm high, it offers room for two people to sit comfortably or space for a single person to spread out. The button detailing across the seat gives the surface a soft, tailored look, while the industrial-style frame keeps the whole piece grounded and steady.

This bench works well at the foot of a bed, where it holds folded throws or gives you somewhere to sit while dressing. It also suits a hallway for pulling on shoes, or slots against a wall in a living room for extra seating when guests arrive. The Yale Blue chenille reads as a deep, warm tone that sits happily alongside neutral walls, wood floors and darker furniture, so you can move it from room to room as your needs change.

The frame is metal with a matt black finish, chosen to hold the padded seat firmly and take everyday use. The chenille fabric has a soft, slightly textured feel that suits a piece meant for daily sitting. Full assembly is required and the bench arrives in one box weighing 10kg, so you will need a little time to fix the seat to the frame. To keep it looking its best, wipe the frame with a damp cloth and lift dust or crumbs from the fabric with a soft brush. Avoid soaking the chenille and deal with any spills quickly using a clean, barely damp cloth rather than heavy rubbing.

What is the seat made from?

The seat is padded and covered in chenille fabric in a Yale Blue tone. Chenille has a soft, slightly textured surface that feels comfortable for everyday sitting. Button detailing runs across the seat to give it a tailored look while keeping the padding in place.

How do I clean the bench?

Wipe the matt black metal frame with a damp cloth. For the chenille seat, lift dust and crumbs with a soft brush and treat any spills quickly using a clean, barely damp cloth. Avoid soaking the fabric or scrubbing hard, as this can affect the pile.

How many people can sit on it?

At 1210mm wide, the bench comfortably seats two people side by side. A single person can also use it with room to spare, or you can leave part of the seat free for folded blankets, cushions or a bag when it stands in a bedroom or hallway.

Does it need assembling?

Yes, full assembly is required. The bench arrives flat in one box weighing 10kg, so you will fix the padded seat to the metal frame yourself. Set aside a little time and a flat working space, and keep any fixings to hand as you build it.

Where does this bench suit best?

It works at the foot of a bed, in a hallway for putting on shoes, or against a living room wall for extra seating. The Yale Blue chenille and matt black frame pair well with neutral walls, wood floors and darker furniture across most rooms.
