Have no fear — whether you’re a minimalist, a midcentury modern enthusiast or a industrial aficionado, there is a perfect dining seat option available for you.

You: Never know just how many people are coming for supper
Your seating: The padded bench

Many people find a hard wood seat unforgiving, therefore look at cushioned benches or banquette seating for increased comfort. Possessing a cushioned seat along a wall and routine chairs on the other side of a desk creates an eye catching composition. Combined with an extending table, you’re ready for any size dinner party.

Hint: Putting the cushioned seat or banquette at a window frames the dining area well. Just be sure to measure correctly prior to buying.
