      Buying guide

      Wood seat or upholstered bench?

      Size it to the spot. Many accent benches here run about 50–57 inches long and 14–21 inches deep, with longer pieces past 60 inches. At a dining table, choose one a few inches shorter than the tabletop so it tucks between the legs. The Width filter sorts benches by length.

      Pick the seat. Solid and reclaimed wood seats are the easiest to keep clean and suit entries and dining nooks. Upholstered, leather and hide seats feel softer for longer sitting.

      Mind the base. Metal bases read lighter and more modern, while slatted and spindle wood frames feel crafted and warm. The Material filter separates wood, metal, leather and fabric.

      Plan for people. Allow about 24 inches of bench per person. A 55-inch bench seats two adults comfortably, or three children at a table.

      Want to see the craftsmanship? Visit a showroom to sit on a few and feel the finishes, or book a free design consultation to plan your entry or dining nook.

      Common questions

      Can I return a bench?

      In-stock benches can be returned in their original condition within 14 days. Delivery charges aren't refundable. Special and custom orders can be cancelled within 72 hours of ordering, and clearance pieces are final sale.

      How long does a special-order bench take?

      Lead times vary by maker, and each product page shows its own estimate. In-stock benches are ready much sooner, for delivery or free pickup.

      Can I see these benches in person?

      Yes. Anything marked On display is on the floor in one of our showrooms in Tacoma, Bellevue or Olympia, open Monday–Saturday 10–6 and Sunday 11–5. Call ahead if you want to make sure a specific piece is at your nearest showroom.

      What height should a bench be?

      Most seating benches sit around 18 inches high, which lines up with a standard 30-inch dining table and with most chairs. Check the product page for the exact height before pairing one with a counter or a low coffee table.

      Can a bench replace dining chairs?

      Yes, on one or both long sides of a rectangular table. A bench seats more people in less space and slides under the table when you're done, though backless seating suits shorter meals and younger guests best.

      Benches are the quiet fix for a room that needs seating but not another chair. Seldens carries them from Mercana, Stickley, Rowe, Four Hands and Hooker Furniture in solid wood, metal and upholstery, including the Hudson Valley slatted bench, the Walnut Grove spindle bench and the 125th Anniversary Fireside Bench.

      A Bench Earns Its Keep in Three Rooms

      At an entry, it is where shoes come off, and one that slides fully under a console keeps the hallway clear when nobody is sitting. At the foot of a bed it holds the throw and gives you somewhere to put socks on, and it should run a little narrower than the mattress rather than matching it. In a dining room, a single bench on the window side seats three where two chairs would fit, and it tucks all the way under when the meal is done.

      Wood Top, Metal Base or Upholstered Seat

      Choose by how long anyone will actually sit. A slatted or solid wood top is right for an entry, where people perch for thirty seconds and track in Northwest rain. Upholstered and leather seats belong at a bed or in a living room where sitting lasts longer, and hair on hide or leather cleans up better than a pale woven fabric. Metal bases take being dragged and keep a heavy top from looking heavy. Check the seat height against whatever the bench serves before you order.

      Bench height is unforgiving. An inch too tall at a dining table or a bed and it stops getting used, which is why sitting on one beats reading a spec. Our designers in Tacoma, Bellevue and Olympia will check it against your table or bed frame, and delivery runs across the Puget Sound. Look at all benches or at accent chairs if you want a back.
