A VERSATILE SOLID WOOD BENCH HELD TO THE HIGHEST SUSTAINABILITY STANDARDS
With sophisticated lines and a modern design, our Solid Wood Bench isn't like other home benches. We craft ours with solid maple in our own sustainable Los Angeles woodshop. Its tone is warm and its structure resilient — maple is a hardy, durable hardwood. The bench will shine in any room in the home. And, consistent with the values driving Avocado, we use a zero-VOC, non-toxic varnish and handcraft our furniture to meet the highest standards of social and environmental responsibility.


SOLID, RESILIENT MAPLE
Quality materials are built to last a lifetime. That’s why we exclusively use solid maple. Because maple is a hardwood, it provides superior durability, resilience, and strength. Maple trees also have a shorter lifespan and are available in abundance, making them one of the most eco-friendly timbers.

VERSATILE, CHARMING UTILITY
No matter which room features your Solid Wood Bench — bedroom, bathroom, mudroom — it will warm the space while providing durable functionality and endless charm.
A GREENER CHOICE
Furniture paints and finishes are among the leading causes of indoor air pollution because they emit VOCs (volatile organic compounds). In fact, the Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) and particle board that is commonly used in furniture construction often contain known carcinogens, such as Urea-formaldehyde or Phenol-formaldehyde. Our Solid Wood Bench is GREENGUARD Gold certified for low emissions and Formaldehyde Free certified by UL Environment. That means the bench is scientifically proven to meet some of the world's most rigorous, third-party emissions standards for chemical exposure and pollutants, such as VOCs, formaldehyde, and phthalates.
As members of the Sustainable Furnishings Council, you can rest assured that our Solid Wood Bench is consistent with healthy, environmentally friendly living.

THE NATURAL BEAUTY OF REAL WOOD
A lot of furniture is mass-made with cheap particle board, synthetic laminates, or veneers. Each piece looks exactly the same. That's not how we make our Solid Wood Bench. We individually handcraft each one with solid wood. We believe in letting the rich character of the wood speak for itself. This way, every piece is original, with its own slight variations. It costs a little more to do things this way. But our customers love having unique, durable, thoughtfully crafted furniture that will last generations.

HANDMADE IN LOS ANGELES
We're proud to craft our furniture, including our Solid Wood Bench, in our FSC®-certified (C156318) Los Angeles woodshop. An FSC® certified company manages forests in a way that preserves biological diversity and benefits the lives of local people and workers while ensuring it sustains economic viability.

CLIMATE NEUTRAL CERTIFIED
As a Climate Neutral Certified company since 2019, we've measured Avocado's annual cradle-to-consumer emissions, offset them by investing in climate change solutions, and started taking real action to reduce our emissions. We also recognize our offsets and reductions aren't enough. Solving climate change will require systemic solutions. That's why, through our partnerships with Ceres and the American Sustainable Business Network, we also advocate for state and federal policies that support equitable solutions to the climate crisis.

Solid Wood Construction
-
Made with 100% maple wood. Maple is a hardwood that provides superior durability, resilience, and strength. Maple trees also have a shorter lifespan and are available in abundance, making them one of the most eco-friendly timbers.
-
Zero-VOC Finish
-
We do not use traditional lacquers or varnishes, which typically contain harsh chemicals and have strong chemicals that can cause headaches, nausea, and respiratory issues. Instead, our Solid Wood Bench uses a zero-VOC, non-toxic Rennert Clear Varnish. It conforms to CDPH 01350 (VOC emissions test taken at 11, 12, & 14 days for classroom and office use), as well ASTMD-4236, specifically concerning oral toxicity, skin irritation, and respiratory effects.
- California Residents
-
We operate an FSC®-certified woodshop — in a facility completely separate from our mattress factory, in Los Angeles — which produces wood dust. Read California's required Proposition 65 warning for wood dust.
