The EASY BENCH is a wonderful example of both efficient crafting and clean, classic lines. Flat packed design with no hardware used in assembly, the EASY BENCH is a simple, yet superior crafted piece of modern furniture that can be disassembled and reassembled at any time. A CNC routing machine cuts a 1" X 4' x 8' sheet of "Appleply," Maple-faced plywood that is used to make all the pieces of one EASY BENCH. The efficient production method means that there is very little waste material produced and each bench is manufactured with ease. In addition, the wood is FSC certified, NAUF panels (No Added Urea Formaldehyde) and comes with a no VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) clear finish. The EASY BENCH's sustainable design brings out the natural beauty of the wood, and by buying products with an FSC label you are supporting the growth of responsible forest management worldwide.
