Arundel Darkened Oak Bench
Part of our Arundel collectionView in store
Materials
Oak, because it’ll look more than good in your home. You can expect the odd knot here and the odd change in wood grain there – which means no two tables will ever look quite the same – but overall, it’s a well-balanced timber.
Finish
To add texture, the oak has a brushed surface that exposes the grooves in its grain slightly. We then apply our treatment oil – IsoGuard® – to make it easier to live with. Think of it as a defence barrier, but one that you’d never know was there. IsoGuard® comes in a few finishes; this one’s Darkened Oak, a rich (but not reddish) brown.
Comfort and proportions
Because of its contemporary straight-lined design, Arundel’s undoubtedly firm. To make a softer sit, there’s a matching cushion, which has a mat to stop it from shifting around. And Arundel’s also simple enough to add feather-filled cushions, throws or even sheepskin rugs to.
Design detail
Every aspect of Arundel is substantial but not too chunky, so it feels solid and timeless, not clunky. You’ll also spot small circles of timber on the sides. These are where we’ve joined the parts together, and are much more attractive than visible screws.

Delivered to you, safe and sound
From our own, white-glove service for delivering larger pieces in the UK and Ireland, to our courier and international partners, rest assured that we’ve done everything we can to make sure your order gets to you on time and in one, perfect piece.
Delivery’s also entirely free if you’re in the UK and spend over £50 (or €100 in Ireland).
No-quibble returns
We believe that returns should be easy, which is why we approach them with a ‘no quibble’ mindset. And, you’ll also have 28 days to do so – just in case you need time to mull things over.
Taking care of Arundel
The timber in this design is finished with IsoGuard® – our innovative protective formula that helps to stop spills from leaving a stain. It doesn’t take a lot of effort to care for a design that’s treated with IsoGuard®, but we have created a few products that can help. You’ll find all these here.
