Introduce a piece of furniture that feels both beautifully refined and wonderfully lived-in. The “Alexandra” Corner Monks Bench brings together the richness of traditional craftsmanship with the quiet luxury of bespoke design—crafted using premium and good quality sheet materials to achieve the "crispness" of the lines/panels and lids.

Where Craftsmanship Meets Character

Handmade to Your Exact Dimensions
Every Alexandra bench begins as a bespoke project, tailored meticulously to your space. Our standard size (100cm x 80cm with a 100cm back height) offers a graceful, balanced silhouette—but your bench can be created to any measurements you require.

Elegant Yet Earthy Design
Framed panelling, gently contoured armrests, and clean architectural lines create a look that sits effortlessly between rustic charm and modern luxury. It brings depth and warmth to any kitchen, dining room, or cosy corner—without overwhelming the space.

Crafted from premium and good quality plywood
Each bench carries its own quiet story. The top quality sheet wood retains strength and subtle grain shifts, and time-worn marks that speak to its heritage. Rather than hide these details, we highlight them—celebrating the organic character that makes every Alexandra unique.

Hidden Storage, Seamlessly Integrated
Lift the seats to discover generous storage compartments—ideal for linens, games, blankets, or everyday household essentials. Practical, discreet, and designed to keep your space effortlessly tidy.

Your Colour, Your Style
Choose any VALSPAR shade to complete your bench: soft countryside neutrals, deep contemporary hues, or timeless classics. Whether you’re styling a refined dining space or a rustic country kitchen, your Alexandra can be matched to the mood of your home.

A Cohesive, Curated Dining Space
Should you wish, we can craft coordinating dining tables and bench seating to complement your Alexandra—creating a harmonious collection with a handcrafted, heirloom feel.

Delivery with Care

Your bench will be delivered by our trusted private courier, who will contact you directly to let you know a delivery date and time-frame. You’re also welcome to collect from our Titchfield workshop.

A Piece That Becomes Part of the Home

The Alexandra is more than seating—it’s a handcrafted anchor for family moments, quiet mornings, shared meals, and warm gatherings. A beautiful blend of rustic soul and understated luxury, designed to last for years and age gracefully.
