Care Instructions
Gently vacuum using a soft upholstery attachment to remove surface dust.
Small marks should be blotted carefully rather than rubbed. Please follow the fabric manufacturer’s care guidance and avoid harsh cleaning products.
Please Note
Velvet naturally reflects light differently depending on the direction of the pile. This may create subtle variations in colour and appearance when the bench is viewed from different angles.
Colours may also appear slightly different depending on lighting and screen settings. Ordering a fabric sample before purchasing is recommended where an exact colour match is important.
As every Alder Bench is individually handmade, small variations may occur, making each piece unique.
Lovingly crafted on the South Coast in Bournemouth, each bench is made to order and fully complies with UK fire safety regulations.
Bespoke sizes and alternative upholstery options are also available. Please get in touch to create a custom Alder Bench tailored to your space.
