Note the seat is hinged, creating great storage space for items that need to be discretely tucked away.
Notice in photo of back, that the back rest is also hinged (it is unclear what the purpose was for this).
Restored, strong and stable. The wax finish brings out the dark patina of the aged oak wood. Old cracks are seen throughout (including but not limited to the front, sides, back) , but do not impact the integrity of the bench. Old repairs exist.
All scratches, cracks, dings, and age related separation are reflective of age and do not detract from the beauty nor function of this impressive carved bench. Slight bow/raised lip to the bench seat but causes no structural issues. Stable to sit on and use.
