Finding the Right Benches for You

Don’t underestimate a good bench — antique and vintage benches are storage pieces, stylish accents and statement-making additional seating.

Today, benches are a great option to maximize seating in your house and outdoor space. The perfect option to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere in foyers and entryways, benches can also transform dining areas, making it possible to host a hungry family with limited space. Whether you’re sprucing up your entertaining with upholstered Empire-style benches or adding more options to a dining room that’s seen a farmhouse makeover, this humble furnishing has only become more versatile over the years. Designers have recognized the demand for a good bench, crafting the convenient seating alternative from a range of materials, including wood, iron and even concrete.

Mid-century modern benches from George Nakashima, Charlotte Perriand and the pared-down Platform bench by George Nelson for Herman Miller are classics of innovation, but maybe you’re looking for an unconventional design approach to your home's seating. Opt for something totally outside the box — an antique pine church-pew bench paired with a vintage wool throw and stationed under the mounted coatrack in your mudroom is a distinctive touch.

For your outdoor oasis, a wrought-iron patio bench is the obvious choice but not the only option. An enclosed back patio would do well to inherit a rattan bench with cushions, but it can be susceptible to weathering and should be covered or moved indoors when not in use.

Whatever your seating arrangement needs are, find vintage, new and antique benches for every space on 1stDibs.

Questions About Bench With Caning
  • What is cane on a chair?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Cane is made by using rattan bark, a plant with a long stem. It is woven into a mesh of split canes, which is then stretched over parts of the framework. In this case, cane is woven to make a chair seat and back, for a rustic look. On 1stDibs, find a range of cane chairs from some of the world’s top sellers.
  • What is a cane chair?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Cane chairs feature a woven pattern on either the seat or the back. They're called “cane” chairs because the woven part is made of cane, which is basically the skin of a rattan vine. Once it's peeled off, it's woven into the intricate pattern for furniture.
  • What is a caned bed?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A caned bed is one that is made by using rattan bark, and weaving it into a mesh of split canes, which is then stretched over parts of the framework. In bedroom furniture, this would most likely be the headboard and footboard of the bed. Shop a collection of caned furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • What is a French cane?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    French cane is a type of tall grass that is known for being flexible and durable. French cane is often braided to create a woven texture that adds an eye-catching detail to furniture. Shop a collection of French cane furniture on 1stDibs.
  • Are cane headboards sturdy?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Whether or not cane headboards are sturdy depends on how they are made. Finely crafted headboards are generally durable. However, antique and vintage examples that have become warped or damaged over time may not be sturdy even if initially well-made. Shop a selection of cane headboards on 1stDibs.
  • What are the three types of canes?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    The three main cane classifications are called standard canes, offset canes and multiple-legged canes. A standard cane might be referred to as a single-point cane and is meant to improve balance but not support weight. An offset cane can take some weight-bearing but only occasionally. A multiple-legged cane is the best option for weight-bearing support. On 1stDibs, find vintage and contemporary canes from top sellers around the world.
  • Are cane chairs strong?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, a properly cared for cane chair is very strong. Because cane is a plant fiber, it can dry out and become brittle over time. However, with proper oiling and by keeping your chairs out of direct sunlight, you can enjoy your cane chairs for many years to come. You’ll find a wide selection of cane furniture, including chairs, on 1stDibs.
  • Are sword canes practical?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    Whether or not sword canes are practical is largely a matter of personal opinion. During the days when men carried swords with them, a sword cane made it possible to discreetly bring one along. To some, this makes them more practical than other historic swords. Shop a selection of swords on 1stDibs.
  • Are cane swords real?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, cane swords, or swordsticks, are indeed real. The cane containing a hidden blade became popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. You can find an assortment of cane swords from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • What is cane furniture called?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertNovember 13, 2024
    What cane furniture is called varies, but simply calling it "cane furniture" is generally acceptable. When the cane of a chair has been woven, you can call the furniture "wicker furniture" or "wicker cane furniture."
