Durham - Bench - Distressed Natural

The Durham bench in Distressed Natural is ideal for shoppers who want a warm, lived-in accent piece that feels at home in an entryway, at the foot of a bed, or tucked alongside a dining table for extra seating. Its richly grained solid mango hardwood top gives an organic, textured surface while slim, tapered metal legs add a modern, grounded silhouette—perfect for contemporary, rustic, or transitional interiors.

Day to day the bench works as a casual landing spot for bags and shoes, a bedroom seating solution, or extra dining seating when guests arrive. Handcrafted wood character and a lightly distressed finish make each bench visually unique; built for everyday use with a minimal footprint, it’s a simple way to add natural warmth and practical seating to compact or open-plan spaces.

Care & Maintenance

Wipe with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, and excessive moisture to preserve the wood’s finish. Use protective pads under decorative objects to prevent scratches; periodic re-oiling or a manufacturer-recommended wood conditioner can refresh the top if desired.

Sustainability & Safety

The bench’s solid wood construction means natural variation and unique grain; this also supports long-lived furniture that can be maintained rather than replaced. For safety, place on a level surface and tighten hardware after assembly; avoid standing or jumping on the bench. If you plan to use the bench near children’s play areas, follow usual household safety practices for furniture stability.

Styling & Pairing tips

• Pair with a woven runner or entryway basket to create a functional arrival vignette.
• At the foot of the bed, layer a folded throw and a slim tray for a lived-in bedroom look.
• Combine with mixed-metal lighting or matte-black dining chairs for a cohesive modern-rustic scheme.

Photography note: Colors and grain patterns may vary from piece to piece; natural materials and hand-finishing create unique surface character that can differ slightly from screen images.
