The Merrick Accent Bench from Four Hands is a long, low slab of solid reclaimed elm set on thick, square-cut legs. The seat is a flat wooden platform, nailed to the frame, with leg levelers underneath so it sits steady on uneven floors. Reclaimed wood means the grain, knots and color shift from board to board, so no two benches read exactly alike.
The lines are clean and unfussy, a pared-back reading of the farmhouse bench with heavier legs that give it a rustic, grounded stance. The natural elm finish is warm and mid-toned, and it sits easily with linen upholstery, woven rugs, black metal and painted plaster walls. It works as a quiet counterpoint to more ornate furniture, giving a busy room one plain, solid surface.
Use it at the foot of a bed, along an entry wall with baskets or boots tucked underneath, or beside a dining table as extra seating. It holds up to everyday sitting and fits two people comfortably. Stack a few books and a throw on one end, and it also works as a low shelf in a living room.

Found Honestly.
Edited Relentlessly.
