Hooker Furniture Retreat Bed Bench

Yes, the wood veneer is protected by a transparent finish that highlights the natural grain while providing a layer of defense against everyday wear. It is designed for high-traffic areas like kitchens, though we recommend using coasters for liquids to maintain the finish over time.

The seat features a contoured, scooped design that helps distribute weight more evenly than a flat surface. While it is a firm wood seat, the shape is specifically engineered to provide ergonomic support for casual dining or social gatherings.

The stool features a sturdy metal base, but we recommend applying adhesive felt pads to the bottom of the legs before use. This will protect your flooring from potential scratches, especially on hardwood or tile surfaces.

For the wood seat, simply wipe it down with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately to preserve the veneer. The metal base can be cleaned with a dry microfiber cloth to remove dust, or a mild glass cleaner if you need to remove fingerprints.

The Retreat Stool is designed to fit standard counter-height surfaces. Please measure the distance from your floor to the underside of your counter or bar to ensure you have adequate leg clearance before purchasing.
