Benches

Dining benches are a fabulous alternative to regular dining chairs. Casual and laid back, they work particularly well for country and industrial style. While chairs may be more comfortable for an individual, bench seats are ideal for big family dinners and visits from friends and relatives. Benches, unlike chairs, can be used for purposes other than seating. For example, use them as impromptu table surfaces when hosting parties or large gatherings. No matter how you choose to use them, our dining benches are sure to add character and charm to your space.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the ideal dimensions for bench seating?

The standard height for bench seating is around 450 mm, matching typical dining chair heights for comfortable use. Seat depth generally ranges between 400 to 500 mm, ensuring adequate support and comfort.

For benches longer than 1500 mm, adding bracing timbers underneath or incorporating a mid-leg support is recommended to prevent sagging and maintain durability.

What are the benefits of bench seating compared to individual chairs?

Bench seating offers several advantages over individual chairs:

Space Efficiency: Benches can accommodate more people along a table, especially in smaller spaces.

Aesthetic Appeal: They provide a streamlined and cohesive look, often enhancing the design of dining areas.

Versatility: Benches can be used in various settings, including dining rooms, entryways, and outdoor areas.

However, it's important to consider that benches may lack the individual comfort and flexibility that separate chairs offer.
