We stock dining benches from $150 timber to $600 upholstered styles across our Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane warehouses.

What Most Furniture Sites Won't Admit
Most dining benches sold online in Australia are imported — including ours. We hold stock in our Australian warehouses.
Second truth: dining benches don't suit families with kids under 5. Toddlers can't get on/off backless benches safely. Choose chairs with arms for young families until kids are 6+.
Dining Bench FAQ
How long does assembly take?
15-30 minutes. Most benches ship with seat and legs separate.
Will a 150cm bench fit my 180cm table?
Yes. A bench should be 20-30cm shorter than the table side to allow for chairs at the ends.
Can I pay with Afterpay or Zip?
Yes. A $300 dining bench works out to four payments of $75 with Afterpay. We also accept Zip, Klarna and PayPal Pay in 4.
