Description
This is a long bench in brown oak, set on two iron leg frames that cross in an X at each end. It measures 190cm long, 37cm wide and 47cm tall, so it is a full-length bench rather than a small hall seat, and the maker gives it a maximum load of 300KG. The grain runs clearly along the top, with knots and the joins between the oak boards on show, and the edge is bevelled on the underside, which keeps the top looking slim from the side. At 29KG it is a substantial piece, so it is worth deciding where it will live before you carry it in.
A bench of this length suits a dining table, running along one side in place of separate chairs, and at 47cm tall it sits at a usual seating height. It works just as well under a window or along a hallway wall, as somewhere to sit, to put down a bag, or to rest a pile of cushions and a throw. The 37cm depth keeps it close to the wall without crowding the room, and the open X legs leave the floor beneath the seat clear, so a basket can slide underneath when you want the extra storage.
The build is straightforward: an oak top on two iron leg frames, and the maker's assembly instructions come as a PDF download. Oak is a hard, close-grained wood, and because the grain and knots are natural, no two tops look quite alike. The maker's care advice is simple: wipe it clean with a moist cloth. When styling it, a long cushion or a folded throw softens the seat for longer sitting, and the brown oak sits comfortably beside woven baskets and soft, patterned textiles. The styling props shown are not included.
