Kusina 長凳 | 榆木

We’re using it at the foot of our bed and it’s the perfect height for tossing a folded quilt on each morning. The elm grain has a subtle, natural variation that makes it look like a real heirloom piece, not something flat-packed. It feels solid enough to sit on while tying shoes too.

The warm elm finish has this handcrafted feel that makes it look like it's been in the family for years, and it fits perfectly at the foot of our bed without overwhelming the room. We've had it on the porch for two weeks now and the simple, clean lines are exactly the timeless character we wanted.

The joinery is solid enough that I don’t worry about it shifting when someone sits down, and the bench’s simple lines fit perfectly in our entryway. It’s already become the go‑to spot for putting on shoes, and the elm has this warm, natural glow that draws the eye.
