McCoy Open Benches

Mortise and tenon is a traditional woodworking technique where one piece of wood fits into a hole in another, creating a mechanical lock. This method is significantly stronger and more durable than simple glue or screw-based assembly, ensuring the bench remains stable and wobble-free for years.

Consider both durability and aesthetics. Harder woods like Hickory or Hard Maple are excellent for high-traffic areas like mudrooms, while Cherry and Walnut offer rich, distinct grain patterns that age beautifully. If you prefer a textured, natural look, the 'Rustic' options feature more knots and character marks.

The bench has a fixed height of 18 inches and a depth of 13 inches, which is standard for comfortable seating. However, you can choose from four different lengths—36, 44, 60, or 72 inches—to best fit your specific entryway or hallway space.

The bench features a solid wood top that is 1 inch thick. This thickness provides a sturdy, substantial feel and ensures the bench can easily support the weight of multiple adults.

Yes, the McCoy bench is designed for heavy daily use. Because it is constructed from solid hardwood and finished with durable stains, it is well-equipped to handle the wear and tear of a busy household, provided you wipe away moisture or debris regularly.
