The Wexley Dining Bench — Solid White Oak, Cross-Leg Base — CharlesTed Home
The Wexley Bench — a generous 180cm dining bench in solid white oak, with a softly rounded seat and crossed X-frame legs that echo the sculptural geometry of the matching Wexley table.
The Wexley Bench is the natural companion to the Wexley dining table, and it does the thing a good bench should do — turn a dinner for six into a dinner for eight without anyone really noticing the rearrangement. At 180cm long it seats three adults comfortably along one side of the table, or four at a squeeze when the children are home. The seat is a thick slab of solid white oak with the same softly rounded edges and natural grain as the table top, so the two pieces read as part of the same family rather than a bench borrowed from somewhere else. The X-frame legs at each end pick up the sculptural geometry of the table's starburst pedestal in a quieter, more pared-back form.
What sets it apart
The detail that makes it different
A bench changes the way a dining room actually gets used — it removes the seating count from the conversation. Chairs commit you to a number; a bench just absorbs whoever turns up. The Wexley is built for that flexibility, in solid white oak with the grain and tonal variation of the timber left honest in a soft natural finish. The crossed legs are tapered solid oak, joined cleanly without visible hardware — substantial enough to take real weight, simple enough that the bench stays graceful when you're looking at it from across the room. Pair it with the matching Wexley dining table and a set of dining chairs along the opposite side for the most generous version of the setup, or use it alone at the foot of a bed, in a hallway, or pulled up to a kitchen island.
