Modern Benches & Stools

Modern benches and stools are the utility players in the modern home. A living room bench can sit quietly against a wall to serve as a spot to sit and pull on slippers. An entryway bench can act as a waystation for a backpack or stack of new mail, then be pulled out in a flash for use as overflow seating during a party. A minimalist bench will call even less attention to itself and complement a wide range of decorating styles. Stools are another category of versatile living room furniture, with the added quality of being even easier to move around. A short minimalist stool can also serve as a footstool in a pinch.
