Matches the table perfectly. Our dining area is basically apart of the kitchen but also in a heavy traffic area of the house. We keep the bench underneath the table against the wall to save space and then when we have guests over pull the table out and use the bench for extra seating. So this was a perfect fit for our needs. We also choose to have chairs that are not the same dark wood as the table and by having the bench it ties everything together nicely without being too match-y match-y. 

Pros: Very nice looking and a nice addition to our table without being too costly.
