Athalien Brown Storage Bench

This bench is an excellent "Swiss Army Knife" for urban living or compact spaces. Its slim 15-inch depth allows it to fit into narrow entryways without blocking foot traffic, while its sturdy, flat top and rustic style make it a great alternative to a traditional coffee table in a small living room. It provides a 3-in-1 value by offering seating, a surface for decor, and hidden interior storage for stowing away clutter like seasonal gear or extra blankets.

The interior of this 46-inch long trunk offers significant clearance for various household essentials. It is specifically well-suited for storing larger items that often clutter a room, such as extra throw pillows, heavy winter blankets, or tall boots in an entryway. Because acacia wood is naturally durable, it provides a sturdy and protected environment for your belongings.

This bench is constructed from solid acacia wood, a material highly regarded for its exceptional density and natural durability. Because acacia is a dense hardwood, it is inherently resistant to warping and daily wear, making it an ideal choice for a functional storage piece that also serves as seating. The wood’s smooth, subtle grain provides a clean look that is both exceptionally durable and easy to maintain over time.

To preserve the natural beauty and integrity of the acacia wood, our care expertise recommends regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth. For spills or stains, use a mild soap and water solution, ensuring you wipe the surface dry immediately to protect the wood's finish. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive pads, as these can strip the protective sealant and dull the wood's natural luster.

Yes, customer assembly is required for this piece. The assembly process primarily involves attaching the metal hairpin legs to the solid acacia wood trunk. Our assembly guidelines indicate that the process is straightforward; however, we recommend following the included instructions carefully to ensure the bench is structurally sound and level before use.

With a width of 46 inches and a height of 17 inches, this bench is perfectly scaled for the foot of a queen or king-sized bed. Expert interior design standards suggest that a bench should typically sit 3 to 5 inches lower than your mattress height to maintain a clean visual flow. At 17 inches tall, this unit offers a comfortable height for dressing while ensuring it doesn't obstruct the view of your bed linens.

The stylish hairpin legs are built from solid metal for distinct flair and structural stability. While durable, metal feet can potentially scratch delicate surfaces like hardwood or tile. To protect your floors, we recommend placing felt pads or rubber floor protectors on the base of the legs, especially if the bench will be used in a high-traffic area like an entryway or mudroom.
