A Welcoming Addition to the Heart of Your Home
There is something uniquely comforting about a bench. It invites people to sit a little closer, lingering longer over shared meals and morning coffee. The Heirloom Bench, handcrafted from solid alder wood, brings this sense of warmth and togetherness to your dining room, entryway, or the foot of your bed. Finished in our warm Harvest Wheat, it highlights the natural character and gentle grain of the alder, making it a welcoming focal point in any space.
Thoughtful Design and Enduring Craftsmanship
Traditional design while remaining clean and versatile enough for modern living. Every bench is built to order by skilled furniture makers who understand that furniture isn't just for display—it is meant to be lived on, gathered around, and passed down. The solid alder construction provides a sturdy, reliable foundation that stands up to the rhythms of daily family life.

About the Harvest Wheat finish
This Heirloom Bench is finished in Harvest Wheat on Alder. A golden, honeyed tone that feels effortlessly luminous. Light and inviting, it subtly brightens interiors with a natural feel.
- Wood: Solid knotty alder sourced from the Pacific Northwest, the wood behind about 95% of our pieces. Its grain and natural knots stay visible under the stain.
- Finish: hand-applied stain sealed with a polyurethane topcoat that helps protect against water, stains and scratches.
- Character: grain, knots and color variation are part of solid wood and make every piece its own. Knots on top surfaces are filled.
- See it first: stain looks different in every room's light, so we recommend ordering a sample before you decide.
