Whitmere Light Gray Chaise Bench

To keep the light gray velvet looking pristine, our care guidelines recommend spot cleaning only. Use a soft, dry cloth to gently brush the nap of the velvet regularly to prevent "bruising" or flattening of the fibers. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, damp cloth and a drop of mild detergent, ensuring you do not over-saturate the fabric, which can damage the plush padding underneath.

This bench is an excellent statement piece for an entryway, though its 24-inch depth is deeper than a standard hall bench. We recommend measuring your hallway to ensure you maintain at least 36 inches of "path clearance" for comfortable movement. The velvet upholstery provides a luxurious first impression, and the plush foam padding offers a comfortable spot for putting on shoes.

This piece is designed with a transitional aesthetic, meaning it bridges the gap between traditional and modern styles. The "turned legs" and "tufted seat" are hallmarks of traditional furniture, while the clean, light gray velvet and roll arm design allow it to blend seamlessly into modern or contemporary rooms. It works particularly well in "New Traditional" or "Glam" interior designs.

The seat features plush foam padding designed for a balance of support and comfort. The tufted seat construction not only adds a sophisticated visual texture but also helps keep the foam in place over time, preventing the "sagging" often seen in large, flat upholstered surfaces. This makes it a durable choice for both occasional lounging and daily use at the foot of a bed.

With a width of 74 inches, this bench is most ideally paired with a King-sized bed, which typically measures 76 inches wide. This allows the bench to sit almost flush with the mattress edges for a balanced, high-end look. While it can be used with a Queen bed (60 inches wide), note that the bench will overhang the sides of the mattress by approximately 7 inches on each side, which can serve as a bold, intentional style choice in larger master suites.

This bench is designed for "Easy Assembly," which typically involves attaching the turned legs to the base of the chaise. No professional tools are required, making it a convenient option for quick room refreshes. Because this is a made-to-order piece, we recommend prepping your space in advance of its delivery, which can take up to six weeks.
