Product description

Derwent Natural Wood Dining Bench

A farmhouse-inspired dining bench. Its authentic rustic charm comes from the rugged timbers and cross beam design between the bench legs.

Dining benches are a great seating option. Not only can more people fit around a dining table, but, when not in use slide them under the table to create more space in your room.

The Derwent dining bench has been designed to work in partnership with our Derwent dining table. At 150cm or 180cm in length, it's the same length as the dining table and slides underneath when not in use.

Many customers choose to have a dining bench on one side of their table, and chairs on the other. That way they have a choice of seating options.

Made to order in our UK workshop, available in a range of wax finish colours and delivered to you fully assembled.

Part of our Derwent Collection of farmhouse-inspired solid wood furniture. Complete the look with our Derwent dining table and Derwent sideboard.

Solid. Chunky. Unique. Durable. Rustic.

Wood & Wax

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 rustic solid wood 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 Nature's own stamp of approval.

In this style, you can expect to find splits, cracks, knots, shakes, bows and twists, along with sanding 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 TV stand will be different. Truly unique. One of a kind. Placing your item close to a heat source can cause movement within the timber which may exaggerate these natural features, particularly twists and bows.

Please note that all sizes and weights given are approximate. As we only use natural, solid timber, measurements can change slightly from one piece to another.

3 Fine Wax Finish Colours

To finish these rustic solid wood Derwent benches we use your choice of one of our 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.

Care & Clean

Daily care of your Funky Chunky Furniture piece is really simple. Watch our 30second video to find out more.

Your furniture will come with felt protectors, please use these on the bottom of your new furniture to protect your flooring. You will need to make sure that any hard flooring (which includes wood, laminate and vinyl flooring) is completely dry and free from chemical residues before putting your new furniture into place.

As this is a natural wood product with a wax finish any applied force, and friction, can cause the wax to transfer onto surfaces.

If wax transfer does occur we may be able to recommend products to help remove or reduce the appearance of the transfer.

However, we cannot be held responsible for any such incidents, or the use of any products we may suggest. Get in touch with our customer services team for advice.

Future Maintenance With Wax Care Packs

We have wax care packs available to keep your furniture and shelves looking their best. They are great to use every few months to make your piece look brand new all the time. They're also brilliant for fixing damage. Order your wax care pack here.
