After receiving our new Cierra Dining Set with 4 chairs, my wife and I decided that we needed additional seating.  We've never had a bench for addditional seating before but this was a low cost way of adding the additional seating.  As an added bonus, it helps to provide more room to get around the table in our modestly sized dining room.  Made of real wood, this bench will undoutedly last for a long long time!!
