Description
Design. Available in a number of different wood finishes, the Salem bench is conveniently customisable to suit any dining area. Beautifully crafted from reclaimed and rustic oak, it's full of natural beauty that will bring true character to your home. Metal bolt detailing completes the chunky frame, giving a touch of industrial style to its otherwise simple design. Dress the bench with faux fur for a cosy touch, or let the wood take centre stage instead. Matching dining table available. Shown in Old Bassano Rustical Oak.
Our Stylist Says
I really like the Salem Bench’s rustic oak finish-it’s versatile enough to suit a variety of interiors, especially those leaning towards country style, farmhouse, or industrial themes. It works well as an entryway piece, providing a practical spot for taking off shoes, or as extra seating in a living or dining room. Its sturdy build and natural wood tones add warmth and texture to a space without feeling bulky. For styling tips, consider pairing it with softer textiles like cushions or throws to add comfort, or position it near a statement piece of furniture, such as a vintage dresser or a modern iron coffee table, to create an inviting layered look. It’s a straightforward yet stylish addition that balances function with a rustic aesthetic.

About Barker and Stonehouse
A Remarkable Journey
Born from the vision of two young RAF men, Charles Barker and Alex Stonehouse, Barker and Stonehouse emerged as a beacon of hope, infusing post-war Britain with a hint of glamour. Starting from a single store in Stockton on Tees, their entrepreneurial spirit led to rapid expansion, opening multiple stores across the region.
Their fast growth was fueled not only by their flair for business but also by their dedication to innovation. The business transformed over the years, adapting to the changing landscapes of retail, all while preserving its charm and values. By 2021, they marked an impressive 75 years in the industry, a testament to their enduring commitment to quality and customer service.
Sustainability at the Forefront
From the very start, Barker and Stonehouse has held a deep commitment to the environment. This devotion was showcased through initiatives such as the Trees4Trees Project, a reforestation effort in Indonesia.
Ensuring that for every tree used in their products, more than two were replanted, nearly 1.5 million trees have been restored under this initiative.
Their Knaresborough store, one of the greenest retail stores in the UK, further underscores their dedication to sustainable practices. As a cherry on top, by 2021, the company achieved the status of "Carbon Neutral Plus", making them a trailblazer in the furniture industry.
Innovative Spaces and Expanding Horizons
Over the decades, Barker and Stonehouse didn't just expand in number, but in the quality and innovation of their spaces. From opening their iconic store in Battersea, London, which beautifully preserved the characteristics of an old candle factory, to their latest state-of-the-art Gateshead store in 2023, every location tells a story.
They have also ventured into digital realms, ensuring a vast online presence and offering a wide range of products to customers all over the UK. Their partnerships, like the one with Fenwick in 2021, illustrate their adaptability and constant quest to reach new audiences.
