Slat Back Bench For Sale on 1stDibs
Choose from an assortment of styles, material and more with respect to the slat back bench you’re looking for at 1stDibs. Frequently made of wood, hardwood and oak, every slat back bench was constructed with great care. There are many kinds of the slat back bench you’re looking for, from those produced as long ago as the 19th Century to those made as recently as the 20th Century. When you’re browsing for the right slat back bench, those designed in Art Deco, Arts and Crafts and Mid-Century Modern styles are of considerable interest. Many designers have produced at least one well-made slat back bench over the years, but those crafted by Drexel, Frits Hansen/Soren Hansen and Kipp Stewart are often thought to be among the most beautiful.
How Much is a Slat Back Bench?
Prices for a slat back bench can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, they begin at $675 and can go as high as $27,500, while the average can fetch as much as $2,700.
Finding the Right Benches for You
Don’t underestimate a good bench — antique and vintage benches are storage pieces, stylish accents and statement-making additional seating.
Today, benches are a great option to maximize seating in your house and outdoor space. The perfect option to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere in foyers and entryways, benches can also transform dining areas, making it possible to host a hungry family with limited space. Whether you’re sprucing up your entertaining with upholstered Empire-style benches or adding more options to a dining room that’s seen a farmhouse makeover, this humble furnishing has only become more versatile over the years. Designers have recognized the demand for a good bench, crafting the convenient seating alternative from a range of materials, including wood, iron and even concrete.
Mid-century modern benches from George Nakashima, Charlotte Perriand and the pared-down Platform bench by George Nelson for Herman Miller are classics of innovation, but maybe you’re looking for an unconventional design approach to your home's seating. Opt for something totally outside the box — an antique pine church-pew bench paired with a vintage wool throw and stationed under the mounted coatrack in your mudroom is a distinctive touch.
For your outdoor oasis, a wrought-iron patio bench is the obvious choice but not the only option. An enclosed back patio would do well to inherit a rattan bench with cushions, but it can be susceptible to weathering and should be covered or moved indoors when not in use.
Whatever your seating arrangement needs are, find vintage, new and antique benches for every space on 1stDibs.
