Zillas Natural Bench

Customer assembly is required for this piece. To ensure maximum stability and prevent the "wobble" often associated with self-assembled furniture, we recommend tightening the bolts firmly during the initial setup and performing a quick check to re-tighten the hardware after the first 30 days of use. This simple maintenance step ensures the solid elm frame remains rock-solid.

Yes, this bench features a seat height of 18 inches, which is the standard height for comfortable, ergonomic seating. This makes it an ideal addition to an entryway or mudroom, as it allows you to sit at a natural height while putting on or removing footwear without feeling like you are sitting too low to the ground.

With a 60-inch width, this bench is perfectly scaled for a variety of bedroom layouts. It sits flush with the width of a Queen size bed for a clean, integrated look. When paired with a King size bed, it leaves approximately 8 inches of space on either side, providing a professionally styled "golden ratio" that feels balanced rather than undersized.

This bench is designed to be as practical as it is beautiful. It features a solid elm wood frame—a material prized in furniture making for its exceptional strength and resistance to splitting. While the woven seat provides an artisanal, tactile touch, the 60-inch width and standard 18-inch seat height ensure it is a fully functional seating solution for multiple adults in high-traffic areas.

To preserve the integrity of the artisanal weave, our care experts recommend regular light dusting or vacuuming with a soft brush attachment to prevent dust from settling into the fibers. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoiding moisture and harsh chemical cleaners is key to maintaining the natural coloring and tension of the fiber seat over time.

The woven natural fibers offer a beautiful, artisanal texture that elevates a room's design. However, because a woven surface can be prone to snagging from cat or dog claws, we recommend this specific bench for households where pets are less likely to scratch or knead the furniture. For homes with active pets, placing this bench in a bedroom or a less pet-accessible area will help maintain its pristine look.

While the solid elm frame is remarkably durable, natural fiber weaves are sensitive to extreme moisture. In humid coastal regions or high-moisture environments like a mudroom, we recommend placing the bench in a well-ventilated, indoor space. Keeping it away from damp coats or wet boots will help ensure the woven fibers remain tight and resilient for years to come.
