Chad's loveable Little Benches are one of my favorite objects in the studio.  I have a red one that serves as an impromptu coffee table, bookshelf, flower stand, and extra seat at dinner.  Imagine how happy I was when Chad mentioned the idea of making a big Little Bench, the same dimensions as the Vollen Long Bench -- now we'll have room for three unexpected dinner guests!

The Big Little Bench ($220.00) measures 18”h x 46”l x 11”w. It is available in the three low VOC paint colors pictured above, or almost any custom color you can think of.  All of the Chadhaus benches are hand built in Seattle from sustainably harvested local hard wood; the Little Bench and Big Little Bench are made from alder.
