Our 72 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.

Our Slat benches are offered in three finish choices:  stained walnut brown with a clear lacquer finish, a matte black finish, or left natural with a clear lacquer finish. 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.

We wrote a Buyer’s Guide George Nelson Platform Bench which compares the original bench with replicas, focusing on quality versus price for consumers interested in purchasing this iconic furniture piece. Key points include differences in materials, craftsmanship, authenticity, and pricing between the original and replica versions of the Nelson Slat Bench.

Who makes the best George Nelson Style Platform Bench? We believe Modern Classic Furniture does. Are we a little biased? Sure. But we try to be objective and make valid points, so here are some key points to consider:

  • We use solid ash, which is as strong as oak and a very sustainable wood species
  • 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 make our 1.5 inches taller than the original, for a more comfortable seating height
  • 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.
