Konk's take on this classic form feels refreshingly unfussy—crafted in character-grade oak or walnut, it's a piece that celebrates wood's natural variation rather than hiding it. The modest height makes it genuinely useful: proper seating for reading nooks, a sturdy footrest, or that extra reach you need without dragging out a ladder. It suits lived-in living rooms, bedrooms, and studies where function and form coexist naturally. Fair warning: character-grade wood means knots and grain variation—if you prefer uniform surfaces, this isn't your piece.
