Q&A answers generated with AI assistance.
How durable is the wood used for the frame and legs?
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.
Is the seat height comfortable for putting on or removing shoes?
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.
How should I maintain and clean the handmade upholstery?
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.
Will this bench work in a narrow entryway or hallway?
Yes. At 16 inches deep, this bench is specifically designed to accommodate "hallway choke points" where space is at a premium. Its slim profile ensures it won't obstruct door swings or walkways, while the 47-inch width provides a generous seating area for a mudroom or foyer.
Is this furniture suitable for homes in coastal or humid climates?
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.
Does this bench require assembly upon delivery?
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.
