I got this bench in black. It is so sleek and works in various places. We bought it specifically for our dining table (the Rivia Extendable Dining Table from Joss & Main) and it works perfectly with 1 leaf in--fitting 2 adults or 3 children. It would also work as an entry bench. Obviously because it's velvet, you need to be careful of spills, but since it's black, that's less of a concern.
