Amish Tables Newbury Bench

The bench utilizes a specialized slide system that allows you to pull the ends apart to insert leaves, similar to how an extendable dining table functions. This allows you to adjust the seating capacity quickly depending on the number of guests you are hosting.

While backless benches offer a sleek, minimalist look and save space, they are best suited for casual dining or shorter gatherings. If you prefer long-term support, consider pairing this bench with a dining table placed against a wall or using it in a space where guests can easily stand up and move around.

Hardwoods like Hard Maple, White Oak, and Hickory are exceptionally dense and resistant to dents and scratches, making them ideal for high-traffic areas. If you prefer a softer look with more character, Rustic Cherry or Brown Maple are excellent choices, though they may show wear slightly faster.

Keep the wood hydrated by avoiding direct sunlight and extreme humidity fluctuations, which can cause cracking. Simply wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth for daily cleaning, and use a high-quality wood polish or oil occasionally to maintain the luster of the finish.

Not at all. The beveled edge is primarily an aesthetic choice that gives the bench a lighter, more refined profile compared to a square edge. The 1-inch solid wood top remains structurally sound and durable regardless of the edge profile you select.
