Casual Chic: 15 Benches for Your Dining Room
Sure, you could just surround your dining table with individual chairs — but there’s something about sitting down to a meal on a bench with people you love that’s so communal, so convivial. A dining bench says “I like you so much that when you get up to go the bathroom, I am willing to get up as well.” It’s also a lovely design statement and a nice way to shake things up a little in the dining room. Less individual seats means less visual clutter, and a backless version can keep sight lines clear. Here are 15 of our favorites.
