Solid Hardwood Dining Bench

Our solid hardwood dining benches, renowned for their timeless elegance and enduring strength, undergo a meticulous manufacturing process. The journey begins with the selection of premium hardwood for its strength, grain patterns, and distinctive character. 

The chosen logs undergo kiln drying, a controlled process using heat and airflow to reduce moisture content to a specific level. This crucial step prevents warping, cracking, and ensures structure integrity over time. 

Seasoned logs are then cut into planks of desired thickness using band saws. Depending on the design, we may use various joinery techniques like mortise & tenon joints, dowel joints or dovetail joints to assemble different individual components.

To enhance the natural beauty of the wood, we apply eco-friendly stains or oils to highlight the wood's grain patterns and rich tones. Finally, a layer of protective sealant is applied to safeguard the wood from everyday wear and tear, moisture, and stains, ensuring the furniture's longevity.

Key Benefits

• Inherently Durable: The inherent density, a result of its tight wood grain, renders hardwood furniture resistant to wear and tear. This hardwood's natural robustness ensures enduring strength, making it exceptionally durable against the challenges of daily use.
• Natural Beauty: Solid hardwood furniture eloquently displays the wood's allure through distinctive grain patterns, knots, and warm hues, infusing your home with character and rustic charm, creating a timeless and visually pleasing appeal.
• Resistant to Warping: Kiln drying reduces warping and cracking in solid hardwood by carefully controlling the moisture content. The process removes excess moisture, preventing uneven shrinkage and expansion that can lead to warping, ensuring the wood maintains stability and structural integrity over time.
• Wipe-clean Surface: Our solid hardwood benches boast a wipe-clean surface, thanks to the protective finishes. These coatings not only enhance the wood's natural beauty but also provide a barrier against stains, making regular cleaning effortless and ensuring long-lasting, pristine appearance.
• Versatile Style: Hardwood's adaptable nature shines through its ability to embrace various finishes and styles. Whether showcasing a sleek, modern look or exuding traditional charm, solid hardwood effortlessly aligns with diverse design preferences and interior aesthetics.

Care guide

• Dust Regularly: Use a soft, dry cloth to regularly dust the surface of your hardwood 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 hardwood dining bench boasts a clear protective lacquer, it's still wise to use coasters for glasses and 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.

Reclaimed Metal Legs

Giving new life to discarded materials is not only sustainable but also creates unique and characterful pieces like reclaimed metal table legs with a weathered silver appeal. Not all reclaimed metal is equal, each piece is carefully inspected for its structural integrity, natural markings & textures to ensure it's suitable for furniture. Selected metal pieces undergo a thorough cleaning process to remove dirt, debris, and any surface contaminants. 

Depending on the design, the metal is then cut and shaped using techniques such as oxygen-fuel cutting or plasma cutting. We then apply specific chemicals to accelerate the natural oxidation process, creating a weathered appearance.

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.
