Every month I shall be showcasing one of my most popular pieces - Highlight of September is the "Fiona"

The Fiona – Bespoke Corner Monks Bench with Hidden Storage

The Fiona is a beautifully handcrafted Corner Monks Bench designed to combine comfortable seating, generous hidden storage and timeless character in one practical piece of furniture.

Made to order by Andy’s Wooden Wonders®, each Fiona is created to suit your individual space, making it ideal for kitchens, dining rooms, breakfast areas and cosy family corners.

Built around a strong internal frame and crafted using carefully selected reclaimed timber, The Fiona is designed for everyday use while retaining the warmth and individuality that only handmade furniture can provide.

Each seat lifts to reveal spacious concealed storage beneath, making it perfect for keeping cushions, table linen, kitchen essentials, toys, games and everyday household items neatly out of sight. The lids are fitted using brass-coloured piano hinges for a strong, neat and practical finish.

The Fiona is fully made to measure, with standard proportions of approximately 100cm back height, 45cm seat height and 45cm seat depth, while the overall lengths can be tailored to your room, so whether a small window seat or a large statement piece all sizes can be accommodated.

You can also choose your preferred colour from the wide Valspar® range, allowing the bench to complement your existing décor perfectly.

Matching dining tables and low benches can also be created to complete your dining space.

As reclaimed timber is used, natural knots, grain variations and historic markings may be visible. These features are part of the character of the wood and help ensure that every Fiona is genuinely unique.

Handmade. Bespoke. Practical. Built for your home.
