LBR-2 in Solid Walnut

Meet the newest addition to our furniture line, The LBR-1 Book Bench. Ideal as a hallway helper, in a kid's room, or at the end of a bed, these pieces seat a nice long row of your best friends (we mean books of course!), and make themselves useful in a a beautiful way.  All pieces of the LBR series are born from a one-inch solid piece of FSC-certified lumber, hand-picked for color and consistency of grain.

Once the boards are properly sized, they go through a rigorous smoothing process with the use of scrapers and fine grit sandpaper. We chose finger joints for the LBR because they offer both strength and symmetrical beauty to the corn
