Q: I just bought this industrial dining table from West Elm and I am searching for a bench to go with it. I'm thinking of getting Parsons chairs for one side in a bright color, and then doing a bench on the other side. But I can't seem to find a bench that works with the size (the table is 72") and the color of the wood. Help!

Why match it? I think you could do anything in a dark brown/mocha/black. They even have some options at west elm that I think could work.

I think it would look great with a modern re-do of a Windsor Bench like the ones on the link. In black would be striking and pick up the color of you table legs!
You could easily build your own. Get some reclaimed wood and order some hairpin legs online (http://hairpinlegs.com).
I don't think I'd match it either - I'd just go with graphite/black.
a few of my friends from architecture school make some neato furniture that I think would be perfect. It ain't cheap, but it's custom.

Awesome find with the hairpin legs!
