What wood are your benches made of?
The legs are made from Western Alder, a hardwood native to Northern
California, Oregon and Washington. Alder is a beautiful and sturdy hardwood
that is not as dense and heavy as Oak or Maple. The tops of the upholstered
benches are made from Birch plywood for stability and strength.
What are the dimensions of your standard bench?
The tops of our benches are 7”x18”. The front of the bench is 6 1/2” off the floor
and the back is 8” high (tall bench is 1" taller, front and back). These
measurements take into account some compression of the padding.
What if your bench doesn’t work for me?
We have a 100% money back guarantee. If our bench does not work for you,
you can send it back for a complete refund.
Another service we offer is to work with you to find the right height and angle for
your bench. Our goal is to make a bench that will enable you to sit comfortably
for as long as possible. We have found through years of experimentation, that
our standard size bench will work for most people, but that no bench size will
work for everyone. If you need a custom bench size we can make it for only
$10.00 more than our standard bench price.
Also now with our folding benches, if you are not satisfied with the leg height or
style you can swap them out for a different type of folding leg. Free of charge!
How long will the padding and/or fabric last, and what do I do
when it wears out?
We have found that our padding will give satisfactory service, if used on a daily
basis, for at least 2-5 years. Whenever you feel that the padding is no longer
sufficient, you can send the bench to us and we will completely reupholster it
and ship it back to you for $22.00. We have found that the fabrics we use
seldom wear out.

How should I clean my meditation shawl?
Embroidered Pashmina: Hand wash in cool water with gentle soap (a small
amount of shampoo can work well and is gentle on your hands). Make sure to
thoroughly mix the soap into the water before washing the shawl. Lay flat to dry.
You can roll your shawl in between two towels to press some of the water out of
it to help it dry more quickly. Do not dry in the dryer.
Ahimsa silk: Hand wash in cool water with a small amount of gentle soap. Make
sure to thoroughly mix the soap into the water before washing the shawl. Lay flat
to dry. You can roll your shawl in between two towels to press some of the water
out of it to help it dry more quickly. Please note; any scrubbing will lead to
pilling.
Ahimsa silk fabric will change its appearance over time with washing - it becomes
softer and has less of a sheen. If you want to keep the original sheen it is best to
have it professionally dry cleaned.
Deluxe Pashmina: Dry clean only. Though pashmina wool is very strong these
shawls are so delicately woven we highly recommend having them professionally
cleaned.
