Sit with your family on your new dining benches. Eat meal after meal at the table. Easy to clean after use. Just slide the bench seat under the table to save on space. Do you love exposed metal and wood? If so your new dining bench will suit you well. Buy the matching dining table to finish the look. Or use an existing suitable table. The decision is yours. The best thing about chairs is a lack of moving parts. After you have put it together you will have a durable bench that will last the generations. No additional tools needed. Benches are not just for dining tables. Set up some seating along your walkway or out by your covered decking. Set yourself up with an end of bed bench or put one in the entryway to your house. Who doesn't love the warmth that wood brings to a room? Your solid pine bench top does just that. Don't like wood. You can always paint it down the track. You can't do that with a laminate surface.
