Mouffetard Gray Storage Bench

Based on our professional care guidelines, we recommend dusting the wood regularly with a soft, dry cloth to preserve the light distressing and oyster shell finish. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners which can strip the protective topcoat. For the fabric cushion, spot clean as needed with a soft cloth and a mild soap-and-water solution, ensuring you blot rather than rub to protect the fibers.

One of the most versatile pieces in our collection, this bench is designed to serve multiple functions. While it is scaled perfectly for a dining table, the design is inspired by the Mouffetard bedroom collection, featuring classic turned wood details and a coastal aesthetic. At 48 inches wide, it is an ideal height for use at the foot of a queen or king-sized bed, or as a space-saving seating solution in a narrow entryway.

The oyster shell finish is specifically designed for a weathered, seaside look. It features a light distressing that artfully masks the minor wear and tear typical of coastal living. Because the finish is applied over high-quality wood solids with scored fronts, it maintains its structural integrity and "seaside" charm even in more humid environments, provided it is kept indoors and away from direct exposure to the elements.

While this item is "grand in scale," it is designed for straightforward customer assembly. All necessary hardware is included to secure the turned round legs and storage components. For the best results, we recommend assembling the piece on a soft surface, like a rug, to protect the distressed finish during the process.

In smaller living spaces, every piece of furniture should offer dual utility. This bench provides comfortable seating with its upholstered cushion while offering hidden storage accessible via charming antique pewter pulls. This makes it an excellent choice for urban apartments or entryways where you need a place to sit while putting on shoes, as well as a discrete spot to store linens, winter accessories, or dining essentials.

Yes, the cushion seat is upholstered in a durable fabric designed to withstand regular use. Our furniture experts recommend this type of cushioned seating for those who enjoy long, communal meals, as it provides significantly more comfort than a standard wood-top bench. The tight weave of the fabric helps prevent immediate liquid absorption, giving you time to blot away spills before they set.
