Bench Builder Session

This is a demonstration session on how to make a bench seat using our popular “no sew” method. Great for DIYers that are looking for a fast and professional finish without going near a sewing machine!

This is our fastest upholstery project by far with just a few simple steps involved.

This is your opportunity to see how easy it is to make a bench seat before you buy a kit from our online store.

Our kits come with instructions and are easy to follow.

Vital statistics:

The bench is 450mm high and 350mm wide and comes with a number of options so you can customise the style and look to suit your space:

• Two lengths – either 900mm or 1200mm long (Custom lengths are available. Please ask us about pricing)
• Legs –  tapered timber pine (standard) or as an optional extra victorian ash or steel hairpin legs
• Covered buttons – if you want buttons, we can make them for you, but we would need to have a piece of your fabric first. Please talk to us about how we can arrange this.
