Description

Warm seating that makes every room feel finished

Before: extra guests and bare bed ends leave rooms looking unfinished. After: a solid oak bench with a woven seat gives you a natural, ready place to sit.

Solid oak that shows its craft

  • Solid oak with visible grain

    The frame is solid oak, and the grain runs through the legs and the rounded seat edge caps. The joints are pinned with visible dowels rather than hidden behind a laminate skin, so the finish reads as wood because it is wood.

  • Hand-woven paper-cord seat

    The seat is a braided paper cord, woven tight and secured to the oak frame at the end caps. The soft beige picks up the honey tones of the wood, which suits Scandinavian rooms without looking flat.

  • Tapered legs and low stretcher

    Splayed tapered legs and a low cross rail give the bench a clean mid-century profile. It sits low and stays out of the way of the room, so it works in a tight corner as easily as at the end of a table.

Keep the weave looking fresh

  • Dust, do not soak

    Wipe the oak with a dry cloth and brush the woven seat with a soft attachment. Water swells the paper cord and can stain it.

  • Keep out of hot sun

    Long direct sun can fade the oak and dry out the paper cord. Indirect light keeps both looking even.

  • Lift from the frame

    Lift with two hands under the frame, not the seat. Dragging scuffs the oak and strains the leg joints.

  • Blot spills at once

    Dab liquids right away with a dry cloth so the paper cord does not hold a mark.

Sized for a dining corner or bed end

  • 80 cm (31.5 in)Length
  • 30 cm (11.81 in)Depth
  • 40.6 cm (15.98 in)Height
  • 2.5 cm (0.98 in)Leg diameter

About 31.5 inches end to end, so it fits along a bed foot, a short entry wall or the side of a table.

Questions and answers

Will this bench fit my dining table, bed or entryway?
w
Wanelo · seller

The bench measures 80 cm long, 30 cm deep and 40.6 cm high. That fits a bed foot, a short wall by the door or the side of a table. Leave a hand's width of clearance so it does not block a walkway, and check the height against your table edge. If the table is still open, see the options.

Can the paper-cord seat handle daily sitting?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes, for everyday sitting. The braided seat is woven tight and secured to the oak frame at the end caps. It is built for sitting to change shoes, eat dinner or read on the edge of a bed. It is not built for standing on.

Is the oak real solid wood or a veneer finish?
w
Wanelo · seller

The frame is solid oak. The grain runs through the legs and the seat edge caps, and the joints are pinned with visible dowels. Solid wood lasts longer than laminate or particleboard, so the bench can stay in the room when the trend changes.

How do I clean the woven seat without damaging it?
w
Wanelo · seller

Dust it with a dry cloth or a soft brush attachment on the vacuum. Do not soak or scrub the cord. If something spills, blot it right away with a dry cloth.

Does the natural color go with grey or white walls?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes. Natural oak and woven beige sit well against grey, white and warm cream walls. The honey tones add warmth in a room that is mostly cool greys or whites.

Is it worth paying more than an upholstered or laminate bench?
w
Wanelo · seller

Upholstered seats stain and show wear, and laminate finishes date quickly. A solid oak frame with a natural woven seat keeps its look across dining rooms, bedrooms and entryways, so you are less likely to replace it when the room changes.
