Buying Guide

A dining table bench with back should be roughly the same length as your table in order to create a consistent look or, if you were planning on pushing it underneath it to gain more space whenever you’re not sitting on it, 2-4 inches less.

Obviously, you should also consider how many people you want to accommodate. For example, a dining table bench with back that’s between 42 and 52 inches is ideal for two adults or three kids. For larger models, allow at least 21 inches per person or a bit more if you’d like to be able to squeeze in an additional guest whenever needed.

However, there’s absolutely no point in having a spacious bench that’s longer than the actual table, so you must always keep both these factors in mind!

Dining table benches with backs can help you seat a large number of people around your table with the luxury of back support. We always recommend looking for a bench that has built-in upholstered cushions, as that saves you having to go out and look for coordinating cushions (and having to keep track of them). You’ll want to select a bench that’s between 42 and 52 inches wide, for most typical table lengths.

The material matters, too. If your style is farmhouse-chic or vintage, a well-seasoned wood is likely your best bet. However, we’ve seen some lovely aluminum or steel benches that can help sell industrial vibes in any home.

When sourcing dining table benches with backs, start with the type of material your dining table is made of. Unless you’re going for an eclectic mismatched look, it tends to be best if dining tables and their associated seating are made of similar materials or have similar color schemes.

Choose a matching material for cohesion; then, if you choose an upholstered style, play around with more interesting patterns or colors. Your bench should be about one foot shorter than the length of the table, and it should be 18-24 inches shorter than your table’s height.
