The Poe Accent Bench from Four Hands is a long, low upholstered seat set on a frame of distressed light oak veneer and black iron. The cushion is a cream performance fabric, mostly polyester with a little linen and rayon, built over a wooden platform and foam pad and finished with a nailhead edge. A pull-through stretcher ties the legs together, and leg levelers keep it steady on uneven floors.
The look is heritage-inspired and quiet, with pale, worn oak against dark iron and a soft cream seat between them. The stretcher gives the base a workbench sort of structure, and the nailheads add a tailored line. It sits comfortably with farmhouse, English country and modern rooms, and it pairs well with darker woods, woven baskets and layered rugs.
Set it at the foot of a bed, along an entry wall or under a living room window. The fabric is made to withstand spills, stains and daily wear, so it can take shoes on and off, bags dropped on the seat and the occasional glass of red wine. It is wide enough for two people to sit, and it pulls up easily as extra seating at a table.

FAQ
If you have a question that isn't here, just ask. That's what we're here for.
Sofas and sectionals, swivel chairs, lounge chairs and recliners, dining tables and dining chairs, coffee tables, ottomans, stools and rugs. Online, most of it comes from Four Hands, with Bernhardt, Noir, Uttermost and Doing Goods alongside.
Yes. More than 200 Four Hands pieces are online, from the Kent sofa by Amber Lewis to the Idella extension dining table. Many listings come in several fabrics, leathers or sizes, like the Augustine in seven covers. Call 513.723.1901 to ask what's on the floor before you come in.
Check the seat depth, not just the overall depth. Bernhardt's Albion has a 26-inch seat in a 41.5-inch-deep frame, which suits people who sit back and stay there. Shorter seats suit people who sit upright. Sit in it for five minutes before deciding.
Size it to the room first, then to the chairs. Leave about 36 inches between the table edge and the wall so chairs can pull out. An extension table like the Idella adds two leaves when you need them. Our journal guide to dining table seating capacity covers the counts by size.
On some pieces, yes. The Kent sofa's price changes with the fabric you choose, so call 513.723.1901 or come in to see swatches. The Colven banquette comes in a cream performance fabric of polyester, acrylic and flax, and the Augustine swivel chair has a Crypton fabric option.
Furniture is what we carry, online and on the floor. The design studio plans whole rooms and houses, from the furniture to the lighting and finishes. If you need one piece, start here, and if you need a whole room, call the studio.
No, we don't carry mattresses. For the bedroom, our design studio can plan the furniture around the bed you already have.

We're open every day but Tuesday, 10am to 6pm, with Sunday hours of 11am to 4pm. Parking is available.
