Ithaca Natural Bench

Measuring 61 inches in width, this dining bench is designed to seat three adults or up to four children comfortably. The sturdy construction, featuring large block legs, provides a stable and high-capacity seating solution that is ideal for both daily family meals and hosting guests.

To keep the beige fabric and natural oak finish looking its best, our care experts recommend regular dusting of the frame with a soft, dry cloth. For the upholstered seat, spills should be blotted immediately with a clean, dry towel. Based on our material guidelines, you can spot clean more stubborn stains using a light application of mild soap and warm water, ensuring you do not over-saturate the fabric to preserve the integrity of the internal cushioning.

Yes, while many backless options prioritize style over function, this bench is engineered for extended comfort. It features a soft, subtle curve in the upholstered seat that contours more naturally to the body than a flat surface. The plush fabric cushioning provides a layer of "Zen-like luxury," making it a much more comfortable alternative for long conversations and multi-course meals compared to standard wood benches.

This bench is built with oak veneers in a natural finish, which offers the premium aesthetic of solid wood with added structural stability. In varied climates—such as humid coastal areas or dry inland regions—veneers are often preferred because they are more resistant to warping, shrinking, or cracking than solid timber. Supported by heavy block legs, this piece is designed to withstand the rigors of high-traffic dining rooms.

This bench is an excellent choice for urban apartments or smaller dining areas where maximizing floor space is a priority. With a width of 61 inches, it can be tucked completely underneath most rectangular dining tables that are 72 inches or longer. This allows you to keep walkways clear when the bench is not in use, a key strategy for maintaining an open, "urban sophisticated" feel in compact layouts.
