Bretdale White Accent Bench

The legs are constructed from stainless steel and finished in an antique brushed brass. Stainless steel is prized in furniture manufacturing for its inherent resistance to rust and corrosion, making it particularly well-suited for humid coastal climates or moisture-heavy entryways. Unlike solid brass, which requires frequent polishing to prevent patina, this brushed finish is designed to maintain its sophisticated, low-luster look with only occasional dusting with a soft, dry cloth.

Faux shearling is typically made from high-performance polyester fibers, which are naturally more resistant to staining and moisture than natural wool. To maintain the plush, tufted texture, we recommend regular vacuuming with a soft brush attachment to remove dust and prevent matting. For minor spills, our care guidelines suggest blotting immediately with a clean, damp cloth and a mild, pH-neutral detergent. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as they can break down the synthetic fibers and dull the white finish.

While its "glam" style is highly decorative, this bench is engineered for functional use. It features a high-grade stainless steel frame and tapered legs, which offer superior tensile strength and stability compared to standard wood or manufactured frames. The stainless steel construction ensures the base will not warp or buckle under the pressure of daily seating, making it a reliable choice for an entryway or dressing area.

This bench has a depth of 20 inches, making it a more substantial "lounge-style" accent piece rather than a slim-profile hallway bench. While it fits beautifully in larger foyers or walk-in closets, we recommend measuring your hallway to ensure at least 36 inches of clearance remains for a comfortable walking path. Its 19-inch height is standard for seating, providing a comfortable ergonomic level for putting on shoes or resting.

With a width of 49.5 inches, this bench is an ideal proportional fit for both Queen (60" wide) and King-sized (76" wide) beds. Following the "golden ratio" of bedroom styling, a bench should ideally be 6 to 10 inches narrower than the mattress on each side. At this scale, the bench provides ample seating without overwhelming the room's footprint or obstructing the walkway.

Customer assembly is required for this bench, and it includes a detailed instruction guide to ensure a secure build. To achieve maximum stability and prevent the "wobble" often associated with home-assembled furniture, we recommend a "balanced tightening" approach: thread all bolts by hand first, then tighten them incrementally in a cross-pattern while the bench is resting on a level floor. This ensures the stainless steel legs are perfectly aligned with the tufted seat frame.
