One of the biggest problems with traditional furniture is the fact that it’s traditional. Traditional is undoubtedly beautiful, even if it isn’t your favorite style of furniture.

However, traditional furniture from periods such as the Victorian, usually provided more beauty than practical utility.

As we’ve moved into the 21st century, the need for things to be as functional as they are attractive has become increasingly prevalent.

The Queen Anne bench is no exception. Queen Anne benches traditionally serve one purpose and usually had no place in contemporary homes.

The Bob Mackie Home Signature Bed Bench by American Drew is a prime example of a contemporary twist on a traditional Queen Anne bench.

The dark-stained rosewood finish is topped by two separate, leather upholstered cushions. To bring practicality into the picture, there is a storage drawer in between the two pads.

The storage compartment is perfect for storing accessories like go-to belts and socks and other things that are useful as you’re getting ready to leave for the day or to relax and call it a night.

Thanks to modern innovations, the traditional bed bench is fit for queens and kings alike.
