Bancs de comptoir

A counter height bench seats more than one person along a kitchen island or a counter table. The benches on this page have a 24 inch seat height, sized for standard 36 inch counters, so they sit noticeably higher than a dining bench.

The collection currently holds the Yosemite Counter Banquette in Cafe. It comes from the Yosemite series, which uses the same Cafe finish on its solid wood dining, bedroom and home office pieces, including the Yosemite Counter Height Rectangular Extension Table.

A banquette suits a kitchen where several stools would crowd the floor: one long seat lines up along the counter edge and keeps the room open. Measure the run of counter you want to seat before choosing, and check the overhang so knees have room once the bench is pushed in.
