Countryside Hallway Bench - Reclaimed Elm

Countryside Hallway Bench - Reclaimed Elm | Online8 New Zealand

Timber with a past: this reclaimed elm hallway bench is around 80 years old, and it shows in the deep grains, characterful knots and natural patina. Built from 100% salvaged elm, it stands 1680mm long with a high slatted backrest and integrated drawers for keys, mail and winter accessories. Because the wood is genuinely aged, expect natural variation from bench to bench — that's what makes each one unique. A warm, substantial first impression in an entryway or mudroom.

Why It Stands Apart

• Reclaimed Elm (~80 years old): Every bench is unique, carrying the structural marks and weathering of genuinely aged timber.
• Integrated Drawer Storage: A built-in multi-drawer system keeps everyday essentials organised and surfaces clutter-free.
• Supportive High Backrest: A 910mm high slatted backrest gives excellent support.
• Deep, Comfortable Seat: A 500mm depth makes it easy to sit and put on shoes.
• Substantial 1680mm Presence: A generous length that anchors an entryway or mudroom.

Frequently Asked Questions

How old is the timber?
The elm is genuinely reclaimed and roughly 80 years old, so grain, knots and weathering vary from piece to piece, making each bench one of a kind.

What can I store in the drawers?
The integrated drawers are sized for keys, mail or winter accessories, keeping your surfaces clutter-free.

Is it comfortable to sit on?
Yes — the 500mm depth gives a comfortable, deep seat and the 910mm slatted backrest provides good support.

How do I care for it?
Wipe with a soft dry cloth and avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners; wipe spills promptly so they don't sit on the timber.
