The Fireside Bench draws inspiration from a 1902 Stickley Bros. design — a classic high-backed settle once placed in pairs beside the hearth to create intimate, fire-warmed alcoves. Our 125th Anniversary edition reimagines this timeless form as a versatile storage bench, perfect for entryways, mudrooms, living spaces, and beyond.
Crafted from quartersawn white oak, it features a gently angled triptych-style back, a hinged seat that opens to reveal hidden storage, and a striking inlay motif. The inlay’s subtle shading and intricate detail are achieved through a meticulous veneer-burning technique, adding depth and character to every piece.
Looking for a true collector’s item? A select number of Limited-Edition First Cuttings include a numbered commemorative plaque — available exclusively in showrooms and only while supplies last. Ask your local retailer about securing one of these rare pieces before they’re gone.
