Design details

A farmhouse bench in solid walnut, built by hand in our Vancouver workshop. Its thick, square legs and exposed wedged tenons give it a sturdy, crafted look, and it works as seating at a dining table, in an entryway or at the foot of a bed. Walnut is a rich, dark brown hardwood with a smooth, flowing grain that mellows to a warmer brown over time.

It measures 48 in long × 14 in deep × 18 in high (122 × 36 × 46 cm), a comfortable seat height for a standard dining table, and weighs about 38 lb (17 kg). The top is 1.25 in thick solid walnut from North American mills and the legs are a substantial 2.5 in thick, with no MDF, plywood or veneer. At each end, a rail just under the top passes through both legs, and each tenon is locked with a wedge that shows on the outside of the leg. A centre rail runs the length of the bench, and the construction leaves room for the wood to move with the seasons. The edges are square with a light softening.

We finish it with Rubio Monocoat, a natural, non-toxic hardwax oil that protects the wood and brings out its grain and colour. If it ever picks up a mark, you can touch up just that spot, and we include a little extra finish for that, along with felt feet to protect your floors.

It goes together in under 20 minutes, and we include everything you need.

We make it to order in 4–6 weeks, or 6–8 weeks for a custom size, and ship it free across Canada and the US. In Metro Vancouver, we'll deliver and assemble it for free, and elsewhere white glove delivery is available at extra cost. It comes with our 5 year warranty and 30 day return policy.

Reviews from Etsy

Beautiful piece; great quality and super easy to put together! I love it!!!

This bookcase is better than I imagined! Thank you so very much!

I cannot express how impressed I am with this purchase on all levels. The product is beautifully crafted. The assembly instructions are clear, and the product goes together easily and seamlessly. Extra touches, such as a bit of extra stain, wood glue, and floor protector pads made this a five star experience all the way. I cannot recommend this seller highly enough. I wish more were like this. It's well worth the cost!
