Dining Benches, A Trendy New Concept
When most people think about dining furniture, the first thing that pops into their mind is a basic table with four chairs. This is going to change soon however, when dining benches start to catch on. Just like having a barbeque on your patio, it’s not so strange to have two people on a bench, but now this idea is being moved inside to typical dining rooms.
Dining benches will start to gain more steam when people find out the prices. If you really examine price tags, you’ll notice that a dining bench that sits two is cheaper than buying two chairs. It’ll save you money and give your dining area a more traditional look, and it’ll be different from everyone else. When people sit down to dinner everyone is expecting the typical set-up of a table and four chairs, they won’t be expecting the dining benches. If anything, it’ll spark an interest with your friends and family and hopefully speed up the fad.
The prices of dining benches like any piece of furniture are going to be all over the price scale. You can find truly inexpensive dining benches on www.CostCo.com or www.Target.com, but expect inexpensive quality and construction as well. Other sellers of dining benches include www.FurnitureOntheWeb.com, www.ChefsCatalog.com and www.SeatCompany.com. The latter with a wide selection of leather and fabric benches, including slip-cover for great flexibility, as well as COM (customer’s own material).
If you still want the option of having chairs, then there is good news. A lot of companies offer the bench with accompanying side and arm chairs or barstools, everything matching of course. The benches come with different combinations of different furniture from cushioned to regular stained wood, or even a stone or metal-based bench depending on your dining area.
As always, try to buy American and from the manufacturer. Buying directly from the manufacturer cuts out the middlemen and dealers, that only contribute to making the product more expensive.
