Zola Bench Seat - Moss Sherpa

The Zola Bench Seat in Moss Sherpa is 150cm wide, 50cm deep and 42cm high, upholstered on two pedestal legs. At 42cm it is lower than a dining chair, so it suits the end of a bed or a hallway more than a table. The legs are set in from the ends, so the bench looks lighter than it is.

A bench is bought for one of two jobs and they want different heights. At a dining table you need about 45 to 47cm to match the chairs; at the end of a bed or in a hallway, lower is better because the bench is for sitting to put shoes on rather than to eat at. At 42cm this is the second kind.

At 150cm it takes two adults comfortably and three at a squeeze, and at 50cm deep it does not eat a hallway the way a chair would.

The caveat is that an upholstered bench with no back is not a chair. It is comfortable for twenty minutes and not for an evening, which is the right expectation to have of it.
