The Concept
Most sofas waste the space directly behind them. Woods by James sofa shelf bench slots neatly behind your lounge and becomes the most useful surface in the room — somewhere to rest a lamp, charge your devices, set down a drink, or display something you love.
Each piece is crafted from solid pine and built to the exact length of your sofa, making it look like it was always meant to be there.

What Makes It Special
Flush-mounted double GPOs sit neatly into the timber surface, so lamps and devices are always powered without trailing cords.
Every shelf is made to measure — send us your sofa's dimensions and we'll cut and build to fit perfectly, however long your lounge runs.
Crafted from premium solid pine — no MDF, no veneers. The natural grain and warmth only improve with age.
Wide enough for table lamps, drinks, remotes, books, plants — a proper surface at exactly the right height behind your lounge.
No wall fixing, no drilling. The shelf stands independently on its own timber legs, making it easy to reposition if you rearrange your room.
Choose from our range of natural, oiled, or stained finishes to complement your existing furniture — or leave it raw to age naturally.
