Buyer questions

  1. A common question

    If I add a backrest to my bench cushion, how tall will the seat and back be together?

    The workshop's answer

    The seat cushion is 4 in (10 cm) thick and the standard backrest 16 in (41 cm) high, so 20 in (51 cm) when the backrest sits on the seat. The backrest height can change; one was made 15 in (38 cm). Seat depth should fit the space too: 22 in (56 cm) rather than 24 in (61 cm) avoided a 2 in (5 cm) overhang.

  2. A common question

    We're hosting a party in a week. Can a bench cushion be made and delivered in time?

    The workshop's answer

    Ask before you order and get the date in writing. The workshop has confirmed delivery dates in the US ahead of time, and for one urgent order it made the cushion the next day and shipped within 2 days. Items added to an order later, such as extra bolsters, may not make the same deadline.

  3. A common question

    The fabric swatches in the listing are tiny. Can I see larger pictures before I choose?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes. Name the fabric codes you are considering and the workshop photographs bigger pieces of them. Physical samples can be posted if you cover the shipping, and a drawing of your bench with its sizes helps the workshop give an exact quote.
