Includes VAT. Delivery calculated at checkout. One price for every option.
A bench to sit on while shoes go on, with a slatted shelf below for the shoes that came off.
Made for a hallway 1 m wide: 40 cm deep leaves room to pass
Wet shoes on the lower shelf leave grey marks in the oil within a season.
Choose an option first.
A solid oak bench 120 cm long and only 40 cm deep, because hallways are narrow. The seat is a single thick board; underneath, a slatted shelf 18 cm off the floor takes six pairs of shoes and lets wet ones drip onto the floor rather than onto the wood.
Even so, the shelf is the part that wears. Oiled oak is not a tray: wet soles left on it for a winter leave grey marks that need a sand and a re-oil to lift. A rubber mat on the shelf solves it and we will tell you the size.

The assembly time on the page was 35 minutes. It took us 40, and 10 of those were finding the second hex key, which was in the box all along.
Measured the stairwell against the sizes page before ordering. The long box went up on its side exactly as described. No scuffs.
Exactly the colour of the photograph in daylight, a shade warmer under the bedroom lamp. Read the drawback line; it is accurate.

Natural oil keeps the wood its own colour and lets it darken with age. White oil holds pale wood pale and hides marks on pine. Smoked oil is a dark brown oil, not a stain; the grain stays visible and scratches show pale.
Charcoal is near black and shows fingerprints until it has been wiped a few times. Moss is a grey-green. Chalk is a warm off-white, not pure white.
Shelves and rails come in the lengths listed, all at one price. Desks come in two widths. The dimensions line above the options is for the option shown in the photograph.
