(Image credit: CS Photography) Whether you have a formal dining room or a small eat-in kitchen, adding a bench instead of individual chairs can be a great choice for many reasons. Not only can it be more economical (depending on how large your table is, the cost of your chairs can really add up!), but it can also make for a more versatile seating arrangement. Plus, you can often tuck the bench under the table and out of the way if you need more floor space. Here are 15 of our favorite takes on dining tables with benches. Consider them proof that this solution really can work for every style.

You can choose to cut your trim and outer apron pieces as you go to get the best fit. Use 2″ nails or screws unless otherwise directed.

Screw the bun feet in. storage and organization, Craftroom, dining roomIf you follow me on Pinterest, you may have noticed that I’m currently pinning dining tables. After 1.5 years in the house, I’m tired of not having dining furniture – heck, or any furniture – in the dining room.
We’ve made do by lugging a ratty old $10 craigslist table upstairs and covering it with a tablecloth when we’ve had dinner guests, but in the last few weeks I’ve hit my breaking point. I want to get a real dining room table, and I want to be able to sit down at it for dinner regularly. There’s two issues that have slowed our [sporadic] efforts to find a table: 1. The dining room is more of a walkway from the living room to the kitchen. 2. Ryan’s got long legs, and when he sits downand those legs fold up, they don’t fit under many dining tables with a lot of clearance – which isn’t comfy for him. So he’s requested that our table be one with a few extra inches of clearance. The “Ryan’s long legs” issue is the primary reason why we haven’t been able to buy vintage mid-century dining table. Most of them have boards that frame the base, like the expandable Bjursta table at Ikea: After checking out both vintage and Ikea tables in person, we’ve learned that the presence of that framing board below the table top usually brings the clearance from floor to table down to 22 or 23 inches.
Ryan needs 24″ to be comfortable and not risk lifting the entire table with a move of his legs. And now that we know this, I’m realizing that the majority of tables out there are constructed in exactly that way. . . so it’s really narrowed down our choices. As an aspiring ethical shopper, I’d hoped to buy used and not new – but it’s looking like I’ll have to buy new in order to get the table we want, in the time frame I want (1 month, tops). After some online browsing, I’ve found only a few options. I love, love, love this super-expandable table from West Elm: The table may still have the height issue for Ryan. I’m going to call the store today and see if they’ll measure the clearance for me. But the dimensions appear to be a bit higher for overall table height, so I’m optimistic that it may squeeze in barely over the 24″ clearance line. But if that table height doesn’t work, I’m also drawn to this totally different style of table at CB2:
