A Chesterfield Chaise Bench Built on a Solid Wood Frame

The Havenly bench carries five Chesterfield design hallmarks across one asymmetrical silhouette: a tall rolled arm on one end designed for chaise-style reclining, a low rolled arm on the other for clean bench seating, deep diamond-button tufting across the entire velvet surface, antique brass nailhead trim outlining every soft edge, and turned solid wood legs in a deep walnut finish. Underneath the upholstered body sits the structural story: a solid eucalyptus internal frame reinforced with plywood and serpentine springs, holding steady under a 400-pound capacity. Lift the tufted seat and a 45-inch hidden storage compartment opens beneath, sized for spare bedding, throws, and seasonal layers.

Features

• Chesterfield Chaise Silhouette combining diamond tufting, rolled arms, and nailhead trim into a single classic design language, built for primary suites and formal entries
• Asymmetrical High-Low Rolled Arms with one tall rolled arm for chaise-style reclining and one low rolled arm for traditional bench seating, two pieces of furniture in one footprint
• Solid Eucalyptus Internal Frame reinforced with plywood and serpentine springs, the structural backbone that holds the bench steady under a 400-pound capacity
• Diamond Button Tufting hand-pulled across the entire seat surface, creating deep dimensional creases that catch and hold light across the velvet pile
• Antique Brass Nailhead Trim outlining the rolled arms and base perimeter in a continuous studded line, framing the velvet against the surrounding floor
• Velvet Upholstery in Pearl Black with a soft hand-feel and a directional sheen that shifts with the light, more forgiving of fingerprints and lint than flat black fabrics
• Lift-Top Storage Compartment beneath the tufted seat, opening to 45.2 by 15.3 by 7.5 inches of hidden space for blankets, throw pillows, and off-season bedding
• Turned Solid Rubberwood Legs in a deep walnut finish, hand-screw assembled and visible beneath the upholstered body for the traditional Chesterfield footprint
• Master Bedroom Statement Piece sized to span the foot of a king or queen bed and built to read as a single design moment in the room

Care Instructions

• Vacuum the velvet upholstery weekly with a soft brush attachment, drawing along the direction of the pile
• Spot clean with a soft damp cloth and a velvet-safe fabric cleaner, testing on a hidden area first
• Blot spills promptly with a clean dry cloth rather than rubbing, which can crush the velvet pile
• Brush the pile gently in one direction with a soft upholstery brush to restore the original nap after cleaning
• Wipe the wood legs and nailhead trim with a soft dry cloth, drying immediately after any contact with moisture
• Keep out of prolonged direct sunlight to preserve the velvet color and the brass trim finish
• Avoid abrasive sponges, bleach, and ammonia-based cleaners on the upholstery
• Open and close the lift-top hinge slowly and fully to prevent stress on the storage mechanism
• Check and tighten the leg hardware periodically to maintain stable footing
