Dating to the late 19th or early 20th century, it features a plank top supported by sturdy, angled board-end legs with cutout feet—classic to early rural American design. Square nails and exposed joinery reflect its early construction, while the notched ends and visible wear speak to its grounded, utilitarian function.

The bench has a beautiful warm brown tone with hints of an earlier off-white paint layer, now mostly worn away. Its aged Douglas fir surface shows natural knots, wear, and character-rich patina, including age-appropriate dings, gouges, and a section of old water damage on the top—all contributing to its authentic, timeworn appeal. Despite the wear, it remains solid and functional.

A versatile piece, this bench works beautifully as entryway seating, at a farmhouse dining table, as a low console, or even as a rustic display piece. It adds instant charm and warmth to any country kitchen or primitive-style interior. See less
