Solid Acacia Wood Dining Bench

Acacia wood, prized for its durability and distinctive grain patterns, stands as a popular choice for dining benches. Derived from the Acacia tree, which is abundant in various regions, this hardwood is known for its rich colour & natural resistance to water & pests.

The manufacturing process begins with harvesting mature Acacia trees, which are then milled into planks to expose the wood's intricate grain. These planks are kiln-dried to achieve optimal moisture content, ensuring stability and minimising the risk of warping or cracking. Next, our skilled craftsmen shape the wood into bench components and sand the assembled piece to achieve a smooth surface without compromising the natural texture and depth of the grain patterns.

To enhance their longevity, our acacia wood dining benches undergo a protective finishing process, in which a clear lacquer is applied to create a barrier against moisture, stains, and scratches. The protective finish not only safeguards the wood but also enriches its natural tones, highlighting the unique variations in the grain. The result is a stunning dining bench that seamlessly combines durability with the warm, inviting aesthetics of acacia wood, ready to grace your home for generations to come.

Key Benefits

• Impressive Janka Hardness: Acacia wood earns acclaim with its remarkable Janka hardness rating, typically around 2300. This high rating signals exceptional strength, providing robust resistance to dents & minor scratches, ensuring it stands up to the rigours of daily use without significant wear & tear.
• Distinctive Grain Patterns: Acacia wood showcases a diverse range of grain patterns, adding character & uniqueness to each dining bench. The interplay of different grain variations enhances the visual appeal, creating an individualistic & captivating aesthetic for your dining space.
• Sustainable Choice: Renowned for its rapid regrowth, acacia wood ensures a constant & sustainable supply. This fast-growing hardwood promotes responsible forestry practices, making it an environmentally friendly choice for conscientious consumers.
• Stain Resistance: Acacia wood's inherent resistance to stains is attributed to its dense & tight grain structure, which creates a natural barrier against liquid penetration. This feature minimises the absorption of spills, making it easier to wipe away stains & maintain the wood's pristine appearance.
• Insect Resistance: Acacia wood's inherent hardness & natural oils act as a deterrent to wood-boring insects, such as wood worms and beetles. These characteristics make acacia an unappealing environment for insects to thrive, reducing the risk of infestation and potential damage.

Care guide

• Dust Regularly: Use a soft, dry cloth to regularly dust the surface of your acacia wood furniture, preventing the buildup of dirt and debris.
• Spills and Stains: Address spills and stains promptly. Blot up any liquids with a clean, absorbent cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. 
• Cleaning Solution: For occasional deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution (like a few drops of dish soap in warm water). Apply the solution to a damp cloth, wring it out well to avoid excess moisture, and wipe down the bench surface. Dry thoroughly with a clean, dry cloth.
• Protect from Heat and Moisture: While your acacia dining bench boasts a clear protective lacquer, it's still wise to use coasters for glasses of hot mugs to minimise the risk of heat damage and water rings. This simple practice helps preserve the bench's pristine surface for years to come.

Matte Black Powder Coated Metal Frame

Our matte black powder coated metal frames undergo a fascinating transformation, marrying industrial strength with sophisticated aesthetics. The journey begins with choosing the right metal - steel is a popular choice due to its strength & durability. Using techniques like laser cutting, CNC machining, or bending, we transform the metal into the desired frame shape with high accuracy. It then undergoes degreasing to get rid of any surface contaminants for optimal adhesion of the coating. 

The heart of the process lies in the electrostatic powder coating - dry, finely ground particles of paint resins & hardeners, are sprayed onto the charged metal frame. The coated frame is then baked at 350°C, followed by slow cooling, to melt and solidify the powder into a durable finish that resists corrosion and daily wear & tear.

Buying Guide

Dining benches offer multiple advantages in various settings. First, they optimise space efficiently, fitting neatly under the table and freeing up valuable floor space, making them ideal for smaller dining areas, apartments, studios, or kitchens with limited square footage.

They also contribute to a cohesive and visually appealing look, offering a sleek and streamlined aesthetic, especially when paired with a modern or minimalist table. 

Lastly, benches naturally encourage conversation and interaction as diners sit closer together. This is perfect for creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for family meals, game nights, or gatherings with close friends. 

Sizing Tips

• Length: When selecting a dining bench size, aim for one that’s about the same length as your dining table or shorter to create a visually balanced and proportionate arrangement. 
• Legroom: Allow 25-30 cm of legroom between the seat and the bottom of the table for comfortable seating.
• Number of People: Consider the number of people you wish to accommodate on the bench and allow roughly 40cm-50cm of width per person. This ensures a spacious and comfortable seating experience, allowing guests to sit without feeling cramped.
• Clearance Space: Consider the available space in your dining area. If the bench is positioned against a wall, be mindful to leave a recommended clearance of 50cm to facilitate comfortable entry and exit.
• Backrest or Backless: Decide whether you prefer a bench with or without a backrest. A backrest provides additional support but may require a bit more space, while a backless bench offers a sleeker look and easy storage under the table.
