Booststory Reclaimed Wood Dining Bench — 160cm Farmhouse Style

The Booststory Reclaimed Wood Dining Bench provides dining table seating in the generous, communal tradition of the farmhouse bench — a single seating surface that accommodates three to four people side by side, encouraging the close, informal proximity that makes shared meals a genuinely social experience rather than a formal arrangement of individual chairs maintaining prescribed distances. Reclaimed elm and oak timber is selected for this bench for the specific patina qualities of aged timber that has been exposed to weather and agricultural use — the deep gray tones of weathered surface wood, the warm honey-brown of freshly exposed grain, and the iron staining from old nail holes that creates the natural pattern variation of a surface with history. The seat plank is a single board measuring 160cm × 25cm × 50mm thick, selected from recovered timber stock with the minimum of repairs or filled sections — Booststory’s reclaimed wood specialists examine each candidate board for structural integrity before approval, ensuring that any visual imperfections are surface character rather than structural weakness. The two trestle-style leg assemblies are fabricated from matching reclaimed timber using through-bolt construction with exposed bolt heads and steel washers as deliberate design elements that reference the utilitarian construction traditions of agricultural furniture. The seat surface is sanded to 220-grit and finished with a hardwax oil that protects against food stains and moisture without altering the natural color variation of the reclaimed timber. Non-slip rubber pad fitted beneath each foot trestle. Maximum recommended seat load: 240kg (three adults). Dimensions: 160cm W × 35cm D × 46cm H.
