Benchwarmers

When it comes to dining, do you prefer cozying up and sharing a bench with another person (or several)?

World Market's Bench and Table

Or are you all about personal space?Pottery Barn

I like my own chair for personal space and back support- especially if I'm stuck in the middle of a bench and moving means kneeing the people on either side of me. But what about you? Are you a chair or a booth kind of person? Sound off!

    chairs! I like ones with soft seats- my family likes to sit and talk after dinner, the tushy can get a little sore.

    I LOVE those tables!!
    I like the *idea* of a bench, but in reality I'd always pick the padded chair for my bottom. :)

    well personally I want a chair but I have no problem with my guests sitting on a bench and I love the look of them.

    I love chairs - but my kids love sitting on a bench. Our dining room table has a bench on one side, and I love when we have company and can throw a ton of kids on one bench. It is very handy and it looks great!

    Definatly chairs!! I was looking at tables today while i was out and I don't like on a bench if two people are sitting on it and one gets up they both have to get up to push it out. Not to mention I'm a big fan of personal space.

    I like chairs! Benches aren't bad sometimes, but I wouldn't want to sit at one all the time.

    Chairs!!! My SIL has a bench but they have three kids so the kids can use the bench and the adults get the chairs...to me thats perfect

    My vote goes to individual chairs...mostly because I like to scoot really far in and get close to my plate :)

    I need the back support of a chair, myself. Growing up we had a booth in our kitchen, which was really cool, but of course that had a soft, cushiony back.

    I think a bench or banquet seating is great for families with kids, but I'll always pick a chair now that I'm "grown up."

    I am definately a chair kind of person, benches just aren't comfortable enough for me. Thanks for sharing your envelope system, maybe one day I'll convince hubby to give it a try.

    I'm a personal space fan but the bench is a fun twist on the traditional formal dining set :)
