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.

The buyer may pick up the furniture, have it shipped by our shipping partners (buyer will pay for full shipping cost, though will not have to arrange it), or discuss potential delivery within reason following the end of the auction. The listed shipping cost is an estimate, though we can likely stay below that number for most areas of the country. If you win the item, we can discuss shipping options, prices, etc. and we will make sure that it is as inexpensive for you as possible. We work with a shipper locally who takes great care in their work and has been complemented often on their packing and shipping quality.
