Description

This is a Slat Bench, Model 4992, originally designed by George Nelson for Herman Miller in 1947. This particular example dates to the 1950s. The bench is comprised of entirely of maple. This is one of Nelson's most iconic designs.

The bench measures 92.5 inches long, 18.75 inches wide, and 14.25 inches high. The finish is totally original and does show wear consistent with previous use. If the new buyer would like to remove some of the stains on the top, we can gladly strip and refinish the top for a modest extra charge, though we've left it as/is for now given the originality. Overall, this piece is in good vintage condition. Please see photos.

What is Freight shipping?

Freight shipping is how most furniture is shipped: secured by hand on a pallet and transported on a truck.

Furniture arrives curbside, often on the shipping pallet for protection.

Freight shipments can take longer and are more costly than regular mail, but help to prevent damage to furniture during delivery.
