Shimlo Cream/Gray Bench

The frame and turned legs are crafted from 100% solid acacia wood. Acacia is a dense hardwood highly valued in furniture making for its natural durability and resistance to warping. This sturdy construction, combined with its handmade quality, ensures the bench remains stable and reliable even in high-traffic living areas.

This bench is built with an 18-inch seat height, which aligns with the ergonomic standard for residential seating. This height is ideal for most adults to sit comfortably and reach down to manage footwear without excessive strain, making it a highly functional "drop zone" for your home.

To preserve the integrity of the cotton and wool fibers, our care experts recommend vacuuming the seat regularly with a soft brush attachment to remove dust and debris. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a light detergent with cool water and blot gently; avoiding harsh chemicals will prevent damage to the handmade weave.

The coastal style of this bench is backed by the use of acacia wood, which performs well in humid environments due to its high oil content and density. However, because the upholstery features a handmade cotton and wool blend, we recommend placement in a climate-controlled space to prevent the natural fibers from absorbing excess moisture.

Yes, customer assembly is required for this item. While our full-service delivery teams handle the setup of many large furniture sets, accent benches of this style typically require partial assembly. Detailed instructions are included to ensure a straightforward setup of the acacia frame and legs.
