Tessmar Kirkjubour Tufted Storage Bench

A 49 inch wide tufted storage bench with an 11 inch deep flip-top interior, Ivory polyester upholstery, and a 400 pound rating.

The listed footprint is 18.5 inches high, 49 inches wide, and 19.25 inches deep. Tape that rectangle at the foot of a bed, an entryway, or behind a sofa before it arrives.

• Deep button-tufted lid

  The padded lid is stitched into a deep diamond of button tufting from end to end, while the sides stay plain and smooth below it. Four short, dark wood block feet lift the bench just off the floor.

• What the compartment holds

  Lift the padded lid on its spring hinges to reach a storage well 11 inches deep, 44.5 inches wide, and 15 inches front to back, room for folded blankets, throw pillows or off season linens. Six vent holes along the sides let air move through what is stored inside.

• Legs only assembly

  Assembly is limited to attaching the legs; tools are included, and the maker suggests two people for the job since the upholstered box is long and a bit awkward alone.

• Solid wood frame, reinforced joinery

  The frame is solid wood with corner block reinforced joinery, built to carry both a sitter on top and whatever is stored underneath. The lid itself is padded and fully upholstered rather than a bare wood panel.

• Seat height and capacity

  Seat height is 18.5 inches, about the height of a dining chair, with room for two people to sit side by side on the padded, tufted top. It carries a 400 pound weight rating across the seat.

• Doorway and stairwell clearance

  At 49 inches wide and 19.25 inches deep, measure your doorway and any stairwell turns before it arrives, especially through a tight hallway. Assembly is legs only, so it ships mostly built in one box rather than several, which keeps the piece manageable through a standard doorway.

• Ivory corduroy weave upholstery

  The cover is a polyester upholstery in a corduroy weave, a fine ivory texture with a subtle ribbed hand rather than a flat weave. It wraps the lid and sides in one continuous fabric with no visible seams on the front face.

• Spot clean the upholstery

  Spot clean only; blot fresh spills right away with a clean cloth rather than letting them sit, since the corduroy weave can hold on to stains if they dry in. Regular light dusting keeps the tufted top looking fresh between deeper cleans.

• What ships with the bench

  The bench arrives mostly assembled, with the legs and included tools packed alongside it for the final step. A one year limited warranty is included on the frame and upholstery.
