    My first thought was telephone bench,but Ive never seen one quite so long before. Maybe it was for a public venue. Im just guessing here,but I thought Danish.Possibly teak,but Brad is the wood guy. Its a great piece!

    Despite length, does look like a telephone bench with storage space for directory. Unsolicited comment but -- as such a handsome piece -- think it might benefit from a more (what I remember as) period accurate cushion. Shorter and higher.

    I thought the same...Maybe it was in a doctors or business office?
    I think the cushion is accurate to the period,though it is thinner...Its the same wool material I have seen on most MCM furniture

    I'd say it was custom made........american, circa 1966.

    Looks chaise-ey, going with a couple similar end tables of the time. Probably custom made alright. 1966....February 14, 1967...May 12, 1968....:) I've seen American end tables that are a match stylistically.
