6 of the best dining table and bench sets

Check out my suggestions for space-saving and dynamic dining table and bench sets.

Written by:

If you’re looking for something that little bit different for your dining room or kitchen, or need a dining option that takes up less floor space, a dining table and bench set could be just what you need. While they’re still traditional, the bench variation adds that little bit of added interest to your dining set-up and can be neatly tucked away when not in use.


Upholstered, wooden, backless, chunky or decorative, dining benches are the perfect dining room accessory. Whether you’re sat smack-bang in the middle with plenty of space either side or clambering to sit alongside friends and family for a much-needed catch-up, dining benches are a brilliant choice.

Dining benches


Dining benches are versatile seating options that add a contemporary touch to any dining space, promoting a casual and communal atmosphere while offering flexibility.


Here are 4 of my top picks:

1. Archie Oak Bench


Sleek and stylish, this bench is versatile enough to be used for seating or as a display bench for your plants, ornaments and other items you may want on show.


The statement legs really make this bench unique in an effortlessly understated way.

2. Archie Upholstered Bench


Bringing a touch of retro comfort to any space, this bench features leather effect upholstery and contrasting, minimalistic legs to create a bench that’s just as attractive as a standalone piece as it is part of the Archie dining set.

3. Marylebone Bench


An oak finish top and black acacia wood frame combine to create the Marylebone bench that can seat up to two people and features an eye-catching trestle base.


It’s stylish enough to be used as a display bench or coffee table too, and can easily be pushed to one side or tucked away underneath a table.

4. Lisbon 1m Bench with Backrest

There’s a Lisbon bench without a backrest and a Lisbon bench with a backrest for added comfort.


This compact bench boasts all of the contemporary features that make the Lisbon bench so popular, and has the added bonus of incorporating a backrest for a bench experience that’s as supportive as a chair.
