“Alexandra” – Bespoke Corner Monks Bench with Timeless Elegance

Corner Monks Bench - "Alexandra" - Natalie in BN12

“Alexandra” will be handcrafted to your required measurements, specifications, and finished in your choice of colour scheme, creating a truly bespoke addition to your home. The piece is created around a strong and sturdy frame to provide excellent strength and stability.

The lids will be affixed using brass-coloured piano hinges, enabling them to lift-up and reveal ample storage within.

The rear panel height is normally 1000mm from the floor, whilst the seating/storage section is usually 45cm high from the floor. The remaining dimensions, as per your design, are no problem at all.

The “ears” will also be removed, with the side panel finishing level with the top of the lids. This will create a much easier and more comfortable entrance/exit from the seating area, whilst also giving the piece a cleaner and more contemporary appearance.

Due to the size and proportions of the piece, I would suggest 2x lids — 1x lid on both sections — as this will create a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing finish, rather than the lids appearing too squashed.

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 arrange a time that suits your schedule. 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.
