Gardencove I Cream Bench

Customer assembly is required for this item. The design uses a straightforward construction where the cushioned seat and wood panel accent are secured to the metal frame. While professional assistance is not required, we recommend having two people for assembly to ensure the frame remains level and stable during the tightening of the hardware, which prevents "the wobble" often found in self-assembled furniture.

This bench is constructed with a heavy-duty metal frame, which provides a significantly more rigid and durable foundation than standard all-wood frames. While "accent" furniture is often decorative, the metal-to-metal joinery and straight-leg design ensure the structural integrity needed for daily use as a functional seat in a high-traffic area.

A 16-inch seat height is ideal for an entryway application as it allows for a more ergonomic position when bending down to tie or remove shoes. While standard dining chairs are typically 18 inches, this lower profile makes the bench a versatile "step-down" piece that can also live at the foot of a bed or under a window without obstructing the view or feeling oversized in the room.

Polyester is a highly resilient synthetic fiber known for its durability and ease of maintenance. The tight weave of the fabric is particularly beneficial for pet owners, as it is naturally more resistant to claw snags than loopy fabrics like linen or boucle. Additionally, based on our material expertise, synthetic fibers like these can be easily spot-cleaned with mild detergent and water to manage the occasional muddy paw print.

With a depth of 16 inches, this bench offers a generous seating surface while maintaining a slim enough profile for most standard hallways, which typically range from 36 to 48 inches wide. For residents in urban apartments or homes with smaller foyers, this depth provides a comfortable place to sit without infringing on the walking path or interfering with door swing radiuses.

Yes, this bench is an excellent solution for "flex seating" during holidays or dinner parties. Because it is backless, it can be tucked completely under most standard-height dining tables when not in use, helping to maximize floor space in smaller dining rooms. The cushioned seat ensures your guests remain comfortable during longer meals, unlike unpadded wooden benches.
