Rushworth I Charcoal Accent Bench

With a seat height of 19.5 inches, this bench is perfectly calibrated for functional use. Standard seating height typically ranges around 18 inches, so this slightly elevated profile makes it exceptionally comfortable for sitting down to put on or remove shoes. Its 42-inch width provides ample room for one person to sit comfortably with space beside them for a bag or accessory.

Yes, customer assembly is required for this item. However, it is designed for straightforward setup. Each bench comes with easy-to-follow instructions to ensure the tapered legs are securely attached to the upholstered seat frame. For the best results and a level seat, we recommend assembling the bench on a flat, carpeted surface to protect the wood finish during the process.

This bench is a practical addition to a pet-friendly bedroom. The charcoal color of the fabric is excellent for concealing minor wear, while the tightly upholstered cushion seat is less likely to snag than loopy, high-texture weaves. Since the bench features natural wood legs rather than a fully fabric-wrapped base, it is also easier to keep the floor area underneath clear of pet hair and dust.

This bench is designed for functional home use, featuring a sturdy rectangular frame and tapered natural wood legs. While specifically styled as a modern accent piece, its "cushion seat" construction and solid wood support make it a reliable choice for "extra seating" when hosting guests. To maintain long-term stability and prevent the "wobble" often associated with assembly-required furniture, we recommend checking and re-tightening the leg bolts periodically.

For those living in compact urban environments, depth is the most critical measurement. This bench has a depth of 20 inches, which allows it to provide a plush, comfortable seat without protruding too far into a standard hallway. Its "mid-century modern" design, characterized by an open base and tapered legs, creates a sense of "visual airiness" that helps a small entryway feel less cluttered and more open.

To keep the charcoal fabric looking its best, our care experts recommend regular maintenance. Dusting the upholstery with a soft cloth or using a vacuum attachment will prevent debris from settling into the weave. For minor spills or spots, we suggest using a soft cloth with warm water and a light detergent, as outlined in our general material care guide. Avoid harsh chemicals, which can compromise the integrity of the fabric and the finish of the natural wood legs.
