Arhaus Kensington Leather Bench vs 54" Brown Cowhide Leather Bench

Buy the Arhaus Kensington if you want a narrow, decorative accent bench with a metal-and-bamboo frame and a printed cushion. Buy the cowhide bench if you need real seating length for a dining table, entryway or foot-of-bed spot. The Kensington is the smaller, more styled piece at 24 inches wide; the cowhide bench is 54 inches wide with a welded iron frame and genuine hair-on-hide. Owners of hair-on-hide report shedding and fading over time, and the Kensington's polyester print is easier to live with but less distinctive.

• Choose the Arhaus Kensington if you want a compact statement piece with polished nickel and bamboo detailing for a hallway, vanity or bedroom corner.
• Choose the 54" cowhide bench if you need a long bench that seats two or more people and want genuine leather with a rugged industrial frame.
