Rushworth II Charcoal Accent Bench

Yes. This bench is designed with tapered walnut wood legs that provide a stable and durable foundation for daily use. While "accent" pieces are often viewed as purely decorative, the construction of this bench is intended for functional seating, whether you are using it in a living room for guests or as a dedicated spot in your entryway to put on shoes.

A 42-inch wide bench is perfectly scaled for a Twin or Full-sized bed, or as a centered accent at the foot of a Queen-sized bed. For a balanced "designer" look, our styling experts typically recommend a bench that is roughly 6 to 8 inches narrower than the mattress on each side. At 42 inches wide, this piece offers a clean, proportional fit that adds functionality without overcrowding smaller to mid-sized bedrooms.

Absolutely. With a seat height of 19.5 inches, this bench is slightly taller than the industry standard seating height of 18 inches. This extra height makes it an excellent choice for an entryway or mudroom, as it allows most adults to sit down and stand up comfortably while managing footwear.

To keep the charcoal fabric looking its best, we recommend regular vacuuming with an upholstery attachment to remove dust and debris from the weave. For spills, our general care guide suggests blotting immediately with a clean, dry cloth to prevent stains from setting. For more thorough maintenance, always avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the fabric fibers or the wood finish.

This bench features a 20-inch depth, providing a generous and plush cushion seat. While it is deeper than some ultra-slim hallway benches, its airy mid-century modern profile and tapered legs prevent it from feeling visually heavy. It is a great solution for urban apartments where you want to maximize comfort in a piece that still fits within a standard hallway or foyer.

Yes, customer assembly is required for this bench. It features a straightforward assembly process where the walnut wood legs are secured to the upholstered seat frame. For the best results and to ensure the bench remains stable and wobble-free, we recommend hand-starting all hardware before final tightening to ensure the legs are perfectly aligned with the frame.

The tapered legs are crafted from walnut wood for long-term durability. To protect hardwood, laminate, or LVP flooring, our furniture care guides recommend applying felt pads to the bottom of the legs. This not only prevents scratches but also helps to stabilize the bench on slightly uneven floor surfaces.
