The approximate depth of a seat depends on the type of seat you have in New Zealand. The average depth for a standard bench seat is between 38 cm and 50 cm. Some people choose upholstered ones which could be made deeper, while some get higher seats for their table.

Do benches take up less space than chairs?

Dining benches are a great way to save space in your dining room. They take up less space than dining chairs, so you can fit more guests in your dining room without sacrificing their comfort. The best part is the benches are movable so you can plan the seating well.

Other options however include different types of metal or even a mix of both metal and wood with cushioned seating?

Styling and aesthetics is another key factor and how it relates to the interior design of the home and decor.If you're searching for taller seating options for your dining area, bar stools are the best option.
