CHEAP TO CHIC: A MENSCH OF A BENCH!

June 10, 2009
  • Share

Wood open lattice work bench from Modern Dose
Modern Dose – Tammy Bench – $1195 (above)

Is this the same bench? Same look, same form, same color, same graphic open lattice work design. Two pieces of furniture (seating in this case) that look EXACTLY alike; the only thing that differs is the price. Hmmm….I wonder.

If my house was bigger, I would use as a loveseat in a hallway or in a bedroom. My house is not big enough…so maybe someone will find room in theirs.

Sweet bench! Look up the definition of a “mensch” …usually applies to a person…but I think it could apply to this bench too!

    Modern Dose frequently has lower pricing than some of its competitors as they do not carry inventory nor do they have a showroom so their overhead is far less than actual retail shops, hence she does not always do a full 100% (keystone) mark up which is traditional in retail, with the exception of the pieces they manufacture of course. Nonetheless, Enjoy, it is a great bench!!

    They look exactly the same. It’s a great nice bench, but I would go for the cheaper price tag!

    I always check several places before I buy — it does mean saving money — it looks the same — does it weigh the same?

    Defintely the same bench — but I like the first one better, seeing as it’s cheaper!! 😉

    I think it would look great on a balcony or patio, as well as inside the house (assuming it can hold up to the elements).

    Has anybody here bought anything from Modern dose? I bought an item for about $400 for over 6 months ago and I haven’t recieved it. They don’t return calls or emails, so I guess I just have lost my money 🙁 Anybody with the same experience?

An easy fall tablescape you can actually recreate.An easy fall tablescape you can actually recreate. 🍂
You don’t need a perfectly styled table or a dozen new pieces to make a fall gathering feel special. Start with what you already have and layer in a few simple details.
Think woven placemats + simple white plates + gingham napkins + fresh greenery. Add clear glassware and a simple centerpiece, and you have a table that feels warm, collected, and ready for dinner with friends.
The best part? Most of these elements can work beyond fall, too. Just switch out the napkin pattern or greenery and you have a completely different look.
Save this for your next fall gathering and use it as a starting point for your own table. 🤎

The spaces that get it right pair it with warm oak, aged brass, and something worn-in: an antique dresser, a vintage runner, a hand-thrown vase.
