When selecting a dining bench, it’s important to measure the space around your table for a comfortable fit. As a rule of thumb, choose a bench that is 10-15 cm shorter than the length of your dining table. For example, if your table is 180 cm long, a bench around 165-170 cm works perfectly, allowing easy access and the ability to tuck the bench under the table when not in use. Consider your seating needs as well—longer benches can accommodate more guests, while compact benches are ideal for smaller spaces.
