A bench is the piece you use without thinking: to pull on boots, to seat one more at dinner, to drop a jumper at the end of the bed. Ours are made in our own factory in Sweden, in solid oak or slim steel with an upholstered seat, 25.5, 39.5 or 51 in long for one, two or three people. Every bench arrives assembled, with a 10-year warranty.
Made in our own factory in Sweden.
Every bench is made in our own factory in Sweden: steel frames are cut, welded and powder-coated, oak is machined and lacquered, and seats are upholstered by hand. Only the raw materials come from suppliers.
Covered for 10 years.
Every bench is covered by our 10-year warranty against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, in normal home use.

Three questions to the length and model.
Made in Sweden and delivered assembled.
Not sure about the length?
Mark it on the floor with tape and walk past it a few times. If you step around it, go one size shorter.

Five things worth knowing.
25.5, 39.5 or 51 in for one, two or three.
Pick the length by where it stands and who sits on it. Wilma and Alva come in 65, 100 and 51 in; Wilma Design Your Own goes to 63 in. The square Anton bench is 21.7 by 21.7 in, a single seat for a corner or a dressing table.
15.4 in deep, so it fits a narrow hall.
In a hallway, depth matters more than length. Wilma is 15.4 in deep and Alva 15.7 in, both with an open frame so shoes go underneath. We do not make a storage bench: the open frame is the storage.
Dining-chair height, and shorter than the gap between the legs.
Wilma and Alva sit at 18.1 in, the height of a dining chair, so both work at a 30 in table. Choose a bench shorter than the space between the table legs so it slides under. Alva is made from the same solid oak, in the same finishes, as our Ann, Melker, Diana and Luna tables.
A little shorter than the bed is wide.
An end-of-bed bench should be a little shorter than the bed is wide, so it does not stick out at the sides, and low enough to sit on while you dress. At 18.1 in, Wilma and Alva sit below almost any mattress.
Warm oak, or a soft seat on slim steel.
Alva is solid oak in natural, dark or black oak, sealed with a matt lacquer that never needs oiling, with a wood seat or a bouclé seat in Ivory or Greige. Wilma comes in Jade Black or Latte vegan leather, or Ivory, Greige or Black bouclé. The Anton bench comes in the same fabrics.
