Dining Bench

Can anyone help?

I'm looking for a preferably white, padded/upholstered dining bench to seat 3 people. Modern/contemporary style.

I've seen one in a show home that also had a fixed to the wall padded back, saving a little space for what will be a fairly narrow kitchen/diner.

I enquired about the one I saw but the company only do commercial seating, which is a little annoying as their product is set in a home.

Make sure that the upholstery is easy to wash or wipe clean or white could end up looking pretty sad. Maybe separate cushions would be more practical (as they could be replaced if they looked too grim). Like this one, easier enough to make a replacement cushion when the time comes.

Have you looked into a local carpenter making one? Our builder made ours. it's great for storage too.

You're looking for a corner bench set. Those are the original Austrian so expensive but lovely!

Argos do cheaper... As do Homebase.

Google corner bench set, you'll find some with storage too.

Thank you! I hadn't thought of corner seating, that could be a very good idea!

And I like the bench from Dwell, I'm sure I've scoured their website but must've missed that. Like pp says, perhaps I could get a carpenter to make a padded back board.
