Merton Bench

The sleek, solid wood Merton Bench is sturdy, well balanced, and an excellent compliment to any room. Echoing the lines of a simple Shaker bench in minimalism and simplicity, it holds a decidedly simple and refined presence.

With carefully angled legs and a thick structured upper, this hearty handmade bench is designed to last generations. Ideal for use as an entryway bench, or paired with the Merton Table for casual dining.

Constructed exclusively from FSC certified, sustainable American-sourced hardwoods and finished for Housework with De JONG's in-house wood butter, a truly natural, non-toxic, petroleum byproduct-free blend of organic oils and waxes, with no particleboard or fiberboard elements.

Available in three wood varieties: Maple (lightest), Oak (mid-range), and Walnut (darkest).

Based in Los Angeles, De JONG & Co. is truly a family affair – this design forward woodworks company is run by a family of 7. With combined histories in interior and furniture design, sculpture, and construction, the De Jongs have articulated a uniquely sophisticated collection of products for the contemporary home and lifestyle.
