Amish Furniture Factory Fireside Bench

A live edge means the natural, raw edge of the wood slab is preserved rather than cut into a straight, uniform line. This ensures every bench features a unique, organic silhouette that highlights the tree's original character.

Mortise & Tenon is a traditional woodworking joint where a projecting piece of wood fits into a corresponding hole. This method creates a mechanical lock that is significantly stronger and more durable than simple screw or nail assembly, ensuring the bench remains sturdy over years of use.

Yes, you can select from Rustic Pine, Red Cedar, Aspen, or Plain Pine to customize the look and texture of your bench. Each wood type offers different grain patterns and color variations, allowing you to tailor the piece to your existing furniture.

You can choose to receive the bench unfinished if you prefer to apply your own treatment, or select a clear coat varnish to protect the wood. The clear coat is available either with or without a stain, depending on whether you want to enhance the natural wood tone or add a specific color tint.

The footrest is a great addition if you plan to use the bench as a primary seating option in an entryway or at a table. It provides extra support for your legs, though you may prefer to omit it if you want a cleaner, more minimalist look.

Because the base is crafted from natural stumps, the contact points can be uneven. We recommend using felt pads on the bottom of the stump feet to prevent scratching or marring your hardwood or tile floors.
