Lurene II Cream Bench

While customer assembly is required, the design utilizes a straightforward block-leg construction. To ensure long-term stability and prevent the "wobble" often found in self-assembled furniture, we recommend ensuring all hardware is tightened firmly during the initial setup and periodically checking the bolts every six months, especially if the bench is moved frequently.

This bench is upholstered in a luxuriously soft boucle made from 100% polyester. Polyester is known for its inherent durability and resistance to stretching. However, because boucle is a textured, loopy weave, it may be more susceptible to snagging from cat claws compared to a flat-weave fabric. For homes with pets, we recommend regular vacuuming with an upholstery attachment to prevent pet hair from becoming embedded in the textured fibers.

To maintain the "warm mid-tone" wood finish, we recommend dusting the block legs with a soft, dry cloth and avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that can strip the finish. Based on our material expertise, the cream-colored boucle should be spot-cleaned immediately upon any spills using a clean, damp cloth and mild water-based detergent. For long-term maintenance, a fabric shaver can be used to gently remove any surface pilling that may occur over time with frequent use.

Designed with a "substantial" and sculptural wood-finished frame, this bench is built to serve as a functional seating solution rather than a purely decorative accent. The thick block legs provide a stable foundation, making it suitable for two adults to sit comfortably. While its Danish-inspired silhouette is high-design, the use of durable polyester-based boucle ensures the seat remains resilient under daily use in high-traffic areas like an entryway or the foot of a bed.

At 16 inches tall, this bench features a sophisticated "low-profile" design. While the standard height for dining chairs is typically 18 inches, a 16-inch height is an ergonomic choice for an entryway or mudroom, as it provides a comfortable, relaxed angle for sitting down to remove or put on footwear. This height also ensures the piece does not obstruct the visual flow of a room when placed at the end of a bed.

Choosing the right scale is essential for a balanced bedroom aesthetic. At 57 inches wide, this bench is perfectly proportioned for a Queen-size bed (approx. 60 inches wide), providing a nearly flush, integrated look. For a King-size bed (approx. 76 inches wide), this bench serves as a centered accent piece, leaving about 9 inches of space on either side to maintain an airy, modern feel.

This piece features a 22-inch depth, which is deeper than a standard slim-profile entryway bench (typically 12–15 inches). This "substantial" depth allows for a much more comfortable and stable seating surface, but it is best suited for wider foyers, mudrooms, or spacious bedrooms. Before purchasing for an urban apartment or a narrow 3-foot hallway, we recommend measuring to ensure the bench does not impede the swing radius of your front door.
