Come Sit By Me: Benches Available in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles

I have yet to meet a room that couldn’t benefit from a bench. From the foyer to the dining table to the end of the bed, a bench offers more than just a seat. Its simple design lends itself to multi-functionalism. It can be a coffee table, a landing spot or a display oppoortunity.

Whether finished with tufted upholstery for a polished appearance or in raw wood to achieve industrial chicness, benches can fit every style. If you’re looking to increase storage, add a bench that opens up to hidden compartments or tuck a few baskets underneath to stash everything from shoes to throws and toys. Avoid weighing down a room with bulky pieces by opting for benches with metal hairpin legs or lucite accents.
