This handsome settee is adapted from an early 20th Century Arts and Crafts station bench. A solid wood frame surrounds an upholstered back and seat elevated on sturdy squared posts. Our wood stain and painted finishes are protected by several coatings of lacquer, which will last indefinitely under controlled conditions. Lacquer coatings are not invulnerable to direct sunlight and heat, scratches, dents, or spills of alcoholic beverages. Avoid using silicone waxes, oil-based polishes, or lemon oils. Keep your furniture shielded from daily exposure to direct sunlight, as the sun may cause deterioration of the original finish. Clean your furniture with routine dusting using a damp cloth and then dry the surface immediately using a dry, soft cloth. Always wipe in the direction of the wood grain.
