Smooth Fabric Upholstery

Fabric is a versatile and popular choice for dining bench upholstery, offering both comfort and style. Our manufacturing process of fabric begins by selecting high-quality raw fibres such as cotton or wool, or synthetic options like polyester, depending on the fabric type we aim to create. 

These fibres then undergo a thorough cleaning process, followed by spinning into threads and dyeing to achieve the perfect colour palette. After that, our skilled manufacturers weave these threads into intricate patterns, bringing the fabric to life with its unique texture and appearance. 

After weaving, we subject the fabric to various finishing processes, including treatments for stain resistance and flame retardancy, to ensure it meets our high standards of quality and performance.

Solid Oak Frame

Crafting solid oak bench frames is a multi-step process that begins with the selection of premium oak wood known for its durability and distinct grain patterns. Each piece is expertly cut and shaped to precise specifications, ensuring uniformity and structural integrity. Depending on the chair design, we may use various joinery techniques like mortise & tenon joints, dowel joints or dovetail joints to assemble different individual components. 

Next, our skilled craftsmen then refine the frame through careful sanding, ensuring a smooth surface that accentuates the natural beauty of the oak. The final step involves applying a clear lacquer finish, enhancing the wood's warm hue and providing protective layers against wear.

We take pride in highlighting the natural beauty of oak wood, preserving its distinctive grain patterns and warm hues through a premium finishing process, while also ensuring the frame withstand the test of time.

Soft Foam Seat

Our dining benches are fitted with thoughtfully crafted foam cushioning, made from high-quality polyurethane foam. The manufacturing process is extensive, starting with the precise combination of chemical ingredients like polyols and isocyanates. This controlled reaction produces a foam-like material. By introducing gas, we expand this mixture, resulting in lightweight yet supportive, body-conforming foam. 

The foam is then cut and shaped to fit the bench's design. To ensure durability, we subject the foam to extensive testing, including compression and abrasion tests. These tests simulate the wear and tear the foam might experience during everyday use, such as people sitting and getting up from the chair.

Care guide

• Regular Vacuuming: Use a soft brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner to gently remove dust and debris from the fabric. Regular vacuuming prevents particles from settling into the fibres and helps maintain a clean appearance.
• Spot Cleaning: Address spills promptly by blotting the affected area with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as it can spread the spill and potentially damage the fabric. For liquid spills, blot first to absorb as much as possible.
• Avoid Harsh Cleaning Products: Avoid using harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive cleaning agents, as they can damage the fabric. Opt for mild, water-based cleaning solutions that are suitable for fabric dining benches.
• Gentle touch: Avoid using harsh brushes or abrasive cleaning tools, as they can damage the fabric upholstery.

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.
