Priory Farmhouse Dining Bench

£950.00 GBP

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

A solid pine dining bench, handmade to order in England to match our farmhouse dining tables. The thick top is finished by hand in natural wax that deepens and darkens with age, set on a new hand-finished pine base in the same whitewashed or natural finish as the tables. Same workshop, same timber — buy it as part of a set, or on its own.

Available in A-frame, X-frame and Priory X-frame base styles, in lengths made to sit alongside each table size. A bench seats more people in less space than chairs and tucks fully under the table when it's not in use.

Ideal down one or both sides of a farmhouse dining table, in a kitchen, or as extra flexible seating for when the family or guests arrive.

Care & refresh

Everyday care
Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry straight away. Use coasters and mats for hot dishes and wet glasses, and mop up spills promptly — natural wax resists everyday marks but isn't fully waterproof. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, which strip the wax.

Keeping the wax fed
Every year months, apply a thin coat of clear natural furniture wax with a soft cloth, leave for around 20 minutes, then buff. This feeds the timber, keeps the finish soft and lustrous, and lets the colour continue to deepen evenly.

Refreshing it — the reason it lasts a lifetime
Because the top is solid pine, not veneer, it can be completely renewed. A ring mark, scratch or worn patch that bothers you can be sanded out and the wax reapplied, bringing the top back to bare timber and letting it start ageing again. There's no wear layer to run out of — a solid waxed top can be sanded and re-waxed many times over its life. It's the difference between a table you look after and eventually replace, and one you pass on.

Is this solid wood?
Yes — a solid pine top on a solid pine base. No veneer or flat-pack.

Where is it made?
Handmade to order in England, in the same workshop as our dining tables.

Does it match the table?
Yes — same pine top, same natural wax finish, and the same whitewashed, so the set looks made together because it is.

Can it be refreshed like the table?
Yes. Being solid timber, the top can be sanded back and re-waxed whenever you want to renew it — a piece to keep, not replace.

Do I have to buy the table too?
No — the bench can be ordered on its own.
