New, at Ballard Designs.


What do you think about using a bench and chairs around a round dining table?

This is very pretty. I like that the bench has a back. To me a round table is more intimate for dining. Love this room.

Pretty room.  Looks like a restaurant table  bench and chairs.

On paper, it's (the bench) a nice idea but I prefer to have control of of my own, individual  chair.  I wouldn't have this in my house nor would I enjoy a meal eating at a bench.  I don't care for banquette, etc. seating either.

This room is gorgeous and I love the colors!  However, I would rather have all single chairs around the table!  A little bench or sofa type thing could be placed under the windows.

I love the look and actually had this in my previous home..the problem is the end person has to get up when the middle person wants to get up.

I wouldn't do it again unless space was an issue.

My set was also from Ballard.

@lolakimono   I like it a lot!  The objections others have posted in this thread have merit though.

I love this, it appears elegant and comfie at the same time.
