The Highback--Too Frou?

My hand-built highback winged bench


I love the look of highback seating.  I especially love a highback bench.  This look, once reserved for restaurateurs and hoteliers, has become popularized in homes.  The highback bench or chair emulates a feel of sleek sophistication.  Adding one creates a refined, dramatic look instantly. The trend has now become so popular that these are no longer exclusive to specialty designer furniture showrooms. There are a plethora of options for the buyer who appreciates this specific style.

I admire the look so much that I opted to build my own (shown above)  as most benches with a scale large enough for my table began at the price of $4000 and up.  You can see the tutorial on my other blog here.
