Choosing an entryway or bedroom bench
A bench adds a shared seat without the height of a chair back. In an entryway, leave a clear passage beside it; at the foot of a bed, compare the bench length with the bed and the remaining floor space. Its seat height matters if you plan to use it for putting on shoes.
Upholstered, woven or wood benches
Padded seating offers a different feel from a woven or exposed wood seat. The collection includes slim upholstered Midtown benches and wood-based designs with their own construction details. Check the material and finish of the selected version rather than assuming every bench uses the same upholstery.
Can a bench be used at a dining table?
Only if its height, depth and leg clearance suit the table. A low bedroom or lounge bench can sit too low for dining. Compare those measurements carefully, and do not treat a bench as a sleeping surface unless the product is specifically designed for that purpose.
