Sustainably Sourced Wood

Funky Chunky Furniture’s shelves, mantels, and furniture are crafted from responsibly sourced wood. We work with suppliers who prioritise sustainable forestry, ensuring forests are well-managed to support biodiversity, protect wildlife habitats, and promote long-term regeneration.

Solid Rustic Timber

To make these Armstrong Benches we select top quality, unsorted, kiln-dried pine. Each bench is cut to size and finished in our signature rustic style. This leaves in lots of natural timber characteristics and features. Mother Natures own stamp of approval.

In this style you can expect to find splits, cracks, knots, shakes, waney edges, bows and twists, along with machine marks in keeping with the rustic style. These are the qualities that set our furniture apart from the rest. And due to the nature of solid wood every dining table will be different. Truly unique. One of a kind. Please note that placing your item near to a heat source can cause movement within the timber which may exaggerate these natural features.

3 Fine Wax Finish Colours

To finish these Armstrong benches we use your choice of one of our supreme wax polishes. The finish is professionally applied with the highest attention to detail. And as the wax soaks into the different grains and features, it enhances their look and brings them to life. The available colours are:

• Walnut
• Smoke Pine
• Medium Oak

When viewing on screen, colours can look different from one screen to another. This makes it less reliable than seeing the real finished timber before your own eyes. Because you want the perfect colour for your home these finishes are available to purchase as small samples. You can order your samples here.

Minor Assembly Needed

Our Armstrong Dining Benches are delivered 'nearly assembled' - the two metal legs aren't attached to the wooden bench top on delivery. Do not worry. The assembly is very quick and easy. Place the bench bottom side up. Position the legs in place and secure them to the bench with the fixings provided. Then, turn the Armstrong bench upright onto its legs, and position it where you like.
