Maximise Space: 3 Ways Benches Beat Chairs

Maximise Space: 3 Ways Benches Beat Chairs

Making the right seating choice for your dining table can really transform your experience of the space! If you're considering whether to get a slab bench, here are 3 ways slab benches are better at getting the most out of your space:

  1. Accommodate More Guests

Let's face it, we all love having friends and family over for a good time. But what do you do when you're short on chairs for your dining table? One chair fits one person, but a bench can fit two or three, depending on personal space preference, so you can get more seats out of the same amount of space and stuff! Plus, with a bench, people can sit closer together and enjoy each other's company.

  1. Versatile Seating Option

We love things that can be adapted easily for alternative uses, so you get greater lifetime value out of these resources! A slab bench can easily be repurposed in another part of your home, like an entryway bench or seating option in your living room. You can even detach the slab from the leg frame and repurpose it into other functions like a shelf or console table. 

With the support of our carpentry team, slab benches can also be customised to fit you, so you don't have any wasted space!

  1. Easy Maintenance

Unlike chairs with upholstered seats, benches are made with solid wood, making them easy to clean. All you need is a damp cloth to wipe down the bench after meals. Plus, you never have to worry about the upholstery getting worn out over time.

Slab benches are wonderfully practical, which makes them ideal for those of us with more compact homes, trying to squeeze out a little more space efficiency where we can. Preview prices online here (package prices available with table purchase), and visit the showroom to check out options in person!
