Merrick bench

Introducing the Merrick Bench!   Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Merrick Bench is designed to bring both beauty and functionality to your dining space. Each bench features a beautifully grained, impeccably finished top, sealed with three layers of polyurethane for exceptional durability and a silky-smooth finish. Rest assured, this will be one of the smoothest and most solid benches you have ever owned.   Choose from a selection of stain and paint options to perfectly complement your décor. Opt for a clean or distressed finish to add character and charm to your space.   Additionally, you can select from four stunning bench top wood options: Alder, Oak, Maple, and Walnut. Here’s a breakdown of the benefits and characteristics of each:   ALDER: Alder is a softer hardwood known for its fine, even grain that stains and finishes exceptionally well. It is an excellent choice for those seeking a beautiful, budget-friendly, high-quality bench that pairs seamlessly with any table style.   OAK: Oak is not only exquisitely beautiful but incredibly durable. Owning an Oak Bench means investing in a cherished heirloom piece that can be passed down to future generations. Oak is timeless and strong, though its premium quality comes at a higher cost.   MAPLE: A premium hardwood, Maple showcases an elegant appearance and natural strength. It is highly durable and an excellent furniture choice. One consideration with Maple is that it can stain unevenly across the grain, occasionally creating a more varied look. As a premium hardwood, it also comes with a higher cost.   WALNUT: Regarded as the pinnacle of hardwood in North America, Walnut offers unmatched beauty, rich color, and stunning grain character. It delivers exceptional durability and sophistication, though it comes with a premium price. If you desire the ultimate blend of elegance and longevity, Walnut is the ideal choice.   Our benches are available in lengths ranging from 4 to 10 feet, Typical bench depth is 16”and height is 17-18”   Seating Guidelines:   4–5 ft bench: Comfortably seats 2–3 people 6–7 ft bench: Comfortably seats 3–4 people 8–10 ft bench: Comfortably seats 4–5 people   For a cohesive and timeless look, pair the Merrick Bench with the matching Merrick Table.   Note: Prices reflect parawood or pine bases that are painted or stained.
