What is the Ideal Size Bench for a Dining Table?
Benches are a great alternative to chairs by providing extra space and a cleaner look to your dining room. If you’re considering the mix and match effect with a dining table with bench, make sure to measure the height of your current set of dining room chairs. You will need this measurement so that you can select the same height for your dining bench. If you want a full-length look for your bench, you need to measure the length of the table. You can then choose a bench that is the same length as your dining table to create a grand statement. If you would prefer to tuck your bench under your table, then measure the inside leg length and subtract around 5 cm for clearance — this will give you a little extra space so you can move your bench out from under the table easily without hitting the legs.

What Dining Bench Material Matches My Style?
Is your dining space equal parts modern and farmhouse? Look for dining room sets that incorporate the sleek juxtaposition of wood and metal. Or go full-on rustic with wood benches that have a beautiful rich color. Lovers of French country can find a wide variety of dining benches that feature beautiful traditional upholstery, tufting and nailhead trim. Benches that contrast metal and other materials add a warehouse touch to spaces. While plush velvet benches add a hint of upscale elegance. From the sleek to the bold, at Ashley HomeStore we offer dining benches in a range of styles so you can always find the perfect piece for your space.

Are Dining Benches Comfortable?
Think of dining benches as compact couches for your dinner table. These versatile pieces come in many shapes and sizes but most feature padded seat cushions that provide superior comfort. Benches with an upholstered back are even more comfortable since they provide lumbar support.
