High Back Bench?
Good Questions

081209seigfridbench1.jpgQ - I have been searching for a high back bench (like the picture attached) to use in my dining room of my Long Beach condo. Could you please help me find a store that would carry something similar?

OMG.... this bench is to die for.... I saw something like it at a pink store on Fairfax between Olympic and Whitworth called something like Forty Modern Vintage (directly across from Hansen's Cakes on Fairfax in LA.... this bench is amazing! It was about 2 weeks ago....

One problem I have with high back benches like the one in the photo is that some of them (I don't know about this specific one) are very very straight up and not all that comfortable to sit in. :( That having been said they definitely make for a dramatic look. :)

I just saw a smaller (and less dramatic) one at Pier 1 last week.

You might want to try customizing a queen or full size winged headboard. Just attach a matching bench to the base.

Here is a headboard in that style to give you an idea of what I am talking about:

You could also wall mount winged headboards if the dimensions of the room and table make that a possibility. In this case, leave the bench unattached from the headboard. That would allow people to adjust the bench forwards or backwards from the table without having to move the whole beastly heavy thing.

It looks similar to the discontinued CB2 Briar Loveseat.

I have this line available and my showroom is in West Hollywood! Those in the pictures come from Visonaire, but I have many similar available and can do custom if you choose. If you want to see our look please go to www.interiorillusionshome.com Basically, you can expect to spend about 1800 to 8000 based on the architecture and the materials you choose. I don't have these in stock at the moment, but I can order for you. If you want to do custom, probably 4 weeks, and if you choose something import or special order, you are probably looking at 6-12 weeks.

I just completed my new site and I hope you like it! If you have any questions feel free to call me. 323-656-8448.
