Handcrafted Benches: Where Tradition Meets Timeless Design

At Artisan Born, we believe that a bench is more than just a place to sit—it's a piece of furniture that invites you to pause, reflect, and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. Our journey into crafting benches began with a desire to bring back the charm and quality of traditional woodworking, where every piece was made with care, precision, and an eye for detail. Inspired by the craftsmanship of generations past, we set out to create benches that are not only functional but also beautiful, designed to last and be cherished for years to come.

Every Artisan Born bench is a testament to American craftsmanship. Made from the finest materials and crafted by skilled artisans, our benches blend the best of classic design with modern functionality. Whether you’re looking for a cozy spot at the end of your bed, a welcoming seat in your entryway, or a sturdy dining bench for gathering with loved ones, our collection offers a variety of styles and options to suit any space.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the best wood for a bench?
The best wood for a bench depends on your needs. Oak and walnut are excellent choices for indoor benches due to their strength and beautiful grain patterns. For outdoor benches, consider teak or cedar, which are naturally resistant to weathering and moisture.

2. How thick should a wood sitting bench be?
A wood sitting bench should generally be at least 1.5 to 2 inches thick to ensure it is sturdy and comfortable. Thicker wood not only provides better support but also gives the bench a more substantial, durable feel.

3. Can I use a bench instead of chairs in my dining room?
Yes, benches are a great alternative to chairs in the dining room, especially if you want to create a more casual, communal atmosphere. They also allow for more flexible seating arrangements and can be easily tucked under the table when not in use.

4. How do I choose the right size bench for my space?
When selecting a bench, consider the dimensions of the area where it will be placed. For dining benches, the length should match or be slightly shorter than the dining table. For entryways or hallways, make sure the bench is proportionate to the available space, allowing for easy movement around it.

5. Are benches with storage a good idea?
Absolutely! Benches with storage offer the dual benefit of seating and organization. They’re perfect for entryways, mudrooms, or bedrooms, where you can store shoes, blankets, or other essentials out of sight while keeping them easily accessible.

6. How do I care for my wood bench?
To keep your wood bench looking its best, dust it regularly and occasionally polish it with a wood-specific cleaner. For benches placed outdoors, apply a protective sealant to help guard against weathering and moisture damage.

7. Can benches be customized?
Yes, at Artisan Born, we offer customization options for most of our benches. You can choose the dimensions, wood type, finish, and additional features like storage or cushions to create a bench that perfectly suits your needs and style.
