Storage Bench / Corner Bench
Handcrafted Wooden Storage Bench with hinged Seating.
These storage corner banquette seats are a beautiful and practical addition to your garden, summer house, or even indoor area to create a robust seating area with a "rustic-chic" style. The addition of the hinged seating means that you have space to store accessories, tools, toys, cushions etc. away and out of sight whilst not taking up any more of your precious space with further bulky storage items.
These come "natural" (with treatment mentioned below) however are suitable for staining / oiling / waxing etc. Any pictures on our page of coloured / stained items have been completed by the customer after receiving our items. We do not currently offer staining at the moment.
PLEASE NOTE- THE BACKS OF THESE BENCHES ARE UNLINED (therefore "open" ) AS STANDARD as these are designed generally to go against a wall. There is an option on the drop down menu to add the LINED backs meaning the full back of the bench would be covered with wood for protection from the elements for anything being stored there if required.
There is no base within the storage section.
Feet can be added if required. Please contact us if so.
Hinges are on top of the seated area and therefore can be seen (but easily covered by cushions) .
Lift-off storage option also available by contacting us.
This is made from new tanalised pre-treated timber suitable for both indoors and outdoors. The wood being tanalised means that it has a treatment within it as it has been pressure treated, this aims to prevents rot, fungus etc. taking hold and protects against the elements as it designed to be used for other things such as fencing etc. too. There may be a slight "tinge" to the wood when you first receive it as some wood seems to show the colour of the treatment more than others. This will settle and fade over time to become a more neutral and mellow colour. It can be treated similarly to other wooden products with woodstain/ oil etc. that is suitable for outdoor wooden products. We use FSC certified timber wherever possible.
The width options in the drop down menus are the measurements of back (longest point of both sides) - therefore are known as the "external measurements".
Choices currently are 150 x 90, 150 x 120 , 150 x 150 however these can be customised and made larger / smaller also.
Height to seat: approx. 50cm
Height to top of back: approx. 90cm
Depth of seat approx. 45.5cm (please let us know if you require specific sizes for cushions etc as slight variations can occur)
Orientation of the benches can be made either way - i.e short side on left or right. Please just let us know your preference when placing an order or send us a message.
Please note that in the wetter months of the year, there is a possibility that the wood may be slightly damp to touch on delivery. This is down to the supplier storing wood outdoors in the timber yard and sometimes it can take a while to fully dry out in our cold workshop! Especially if we have recently had a delivery. We always try to minimise this where possible, but sometimes, due to limited amount of space and supplies at once, unfortunately it cannot be helped unless we delay delivery by a longer period. Please ask us for any more info should you require before purchase.) PLEASE ENSURE YOU THEREFORE CHECK THIS IN CASE OF ANY STAINING TO FLOOR AREAS BEFORE PLACING THE ITEM.
Bench delivered in 2 pieces designed to be very simple to fix and join together (only a few screws already placed) (video can be sent after ordering if required).
Despite the pre-treatment within the wood, we recommend that if keeping outdoors, treatment is required to maintain quality through time just as you would with any outdoor wooden furniture. In adverse conditions or prolonged periods, a breathable cover is also advised.
The bench will maintain a slight rustic effect , and although sanded, will not have a "Factory smooth finish". This is part of the character of our projects. We therefore do not compare this to something that you would buy from a large chain retailer for example. We always aim for quality build and our products are solid and heavy whilst maintaining a slight rustic look. Screw holes and 'fluffy' edges in patches are the norm for this style and type of wood and build. Some expansion and contraction of the wood is normal for a natural product and some gaps will occur over time if stored in high heat or areas of varied temperature.
Delivery method will be on a pallet via a third party courier. We do not deliver ourselves. Therefore delivery will be "kerbside" as standard meaning that generally 2 strong people "at your end" will be required to move/ strip the items from the pallet to where you'd like it go, bearing in mind that these items are large and heavy. Any assembly mentioned such as affixing the two pieces of bench to make the corner, will therefore be required also and is not provided within the cost. (We can provide photos / potentially video clips to show this as we design these items so that this can be easily done).
Delivery Mon-Fridays only.
Other listings include a matching table, bench with no storage etc.
We can also fully customise our products as these are all are handmade to order therefore please get in touch with any ideas you may have such as adding armrests, no backrests, additional "box " seating /stools to match, larger/ smaller items, full "booth" seating, straight (not corner) benches etc. etc.
