Maple Bedroom Bench

Hard maple is one of the most underrated hardwoods in American furniture making. Its pale, creamy color and fine, consistent grain give it a quiet elegance that works beautifully in bedrooms and reading spaces.

This bench is designed to sit at the foot of the bed or in a corner — a place to sit while putting on shoes, to drape a blanket, or simply to add a considered piece of furniture to a room that deserves one.

The joinery is traditional throughout: mortise and tenon legs, a solid maple seat, and a hard wax oil finish that protects the surface while keeping the natural color of the maple intact.
