Coastline Aged Elm Bench

Coastline Aged Elm Bench | Online8 New Zealand

Around 80 years of history, reborn for the coast — this reclaimed elm bench pairs genuinely salvaged timber with a driftwood grey wash for the weathered, silvery look without the wait. At just 18cm deep it doubles as a slim console or plant stand, slipping behind a sofa, along a hallway or at the foot of a bed without eating into the floor. As the elm is truly reclaimed, expect natural variation in grain, knots and old nail marks — no two benches are alike.

Why It Stands Apart

• Reclaimed Timber (~80 years old): Genuinely salvaged elm with heavy grain, knots and old nail marks earned over decades.
• Driftwood Grey Wash: A soft silvery finish with real depth, not a flat painted grey.
• Slim 18cm Depth: Slips behind a sofa or along a narrow hallway where a deeper piece won't fit.
• Multi-Purpose: Works equally well as a bench, a console, or a stand for plants and objects.
• One-of-a-Kind Character: Every mark is part of the timber's salvaged history, so each bench is unique.

Frequently Asked Questions

How old is the timber?
The elm is genuinely reclaimed and around 80 years old, so natural variation in grain, colour and marks such as knots, nicks and old nail heads is expected — it is exactly what makes each bench unique.

Can I use it as a side table?
Yes, though coasters are recommended, as the washed timber surface can mark from wet glassware.

How do I clean it?
Dust with a soft dry cloth. Chemical cleaners and furniture polish are not recommended on the wash finish.
