Open Layout for Entertaining
The bench acts as a bridge between this open-plan design and can be used for groups in either or both areas without obstructing views. Plenty of plush furnishings provides comfortable seating for friends and family when entertaining.

Dining Room With Elegant Chairs
Upholstered dining chairs with high backs are a transitional design element. The look is borrowed from the classic Wing chair but appears more modern and sleek here.
