Our 48 inch Slat Bench is inspired by the popular George Nelson Slat Bench. It is a great compliment to any of the pieces of the modern classics collection. Some of the key features of our George Nelson style Slat Bench include:

Slat Construction: The bench is characterized by its distinctive slatted wooden top, which consists of multiple parallel wooden slats running across the width of the bench. Using the time-tested lap joint technique makes our bench very strong. These slats create a visually appealing and functional surface.

Durable Materials: Our bench is constructed using high-quality solid ash, not MDF wood like most other benches found on the market. The wooden slats are connected to metal legs powder coated a matte black and have adjustable floor glides. Both the solid wood and the metal legs contributes to the bench's stability.

Versatility: One notable aspect of the Nelson Slat Bench is its versatility. Originally designed as a seating and occasional table solution, it can serve multiple functions. It's often used as a coffee table or a bench for seating. Exclusive to our model is the seat height of 15.75 inches, which is almost 2 inches higher than other models on the market.

The legs are metal and only come in black finish. There are 4 adjustable glides on the bottom of the frame. The size and geometry of our bench is true to the George Nelson original design, except we make our bench about 2 inch taller.

  • End pieces are sold wood with a Mortise and Tenon joints in the frame, not simple block joints which will not last
  • Our Legs are made of steel with adjustable foot glides, a more solid solution than wood

  • We have moved our legs closer to the bench end, which minimizes potential tipping when sitting on the end, and it doesn't affect the look.
