More to explore
There's something wonderfully welcoming about gathering everyone around the table, and our dining benches make those moments even more relaxed and inclusive. Perfect for family meals, weekend brunches or when you need extra seating for friends, a dining bench brings an easy, laid-back feel to your dining space. They're brilliant for squeezing in one more person, ideal for children who love sitting together, and wonderfully practical for homes where space is at a premium.
Timeless designs to suit your style
Our collection features beautifully crafted ranges that blend seamlessly with different interior aesthetics. The Berkeley Nordic Oak dining bench brings a Scandi-inspired freshness with its gently curved corners and cool undertones – perfect for modern, minimalist spaces. For those drawn to more rustic, farmhouse charm, the Inglesham Whitewash Oak trestle bench offers traditional, chunky styling with a hand-applied whitewash finish that enhances the natural grain. Both styles pair beautifully with our matching dining tables, or can be mixed with chairs for a relaxed, individual look.
Built to last with our Signature Cotswold Quality
Every dining bench in our collection is crafted from solid oak using traditional woodworking methods. You'll find sturdy frames built with mortise and tenon joints for superior strength, while the natural timber is carefully treated to bring out its beautiful grain. Available in various sizes to suit different table lengths, our benches typically measure around 45cm in height for comfortable seating. The clear wax and whitewash finishes protect the wood while retaining its subtle, natural character – meaning no two pieces are ever quite the same.
Each bench comes with our 15-year structural guarantee, reflecting our commitment to furniture that's built to last a lifetime. They're designed for real family life – sturdy enough to withstand daily use, yet elegant enough to make every meal feel special. Simple to assemble and wonderfully versatile, a dining bench from The Cotswold Company brings that 'gather round' feeling to your home.
What wood types and finishes are the dining benches available in?
Our dining benches are available in solid oak with different finishes. The Berkeley Nordic Oak dining bench features a clear wax finish that retains the wood's subtle natural grain, while the Inglesham Whitewash Oak trestle bench has a hand-applied whitewash finish to enhance the oak's natural grain. Both are crafted from solid oak and showcase the timber's beautiful characteristics.
Are the benches solid wood throughout, or do they use engineered wood components?
Our dining benches feature solid wood frameworks for superior strength and durability. The Berkeley Nordic Oak dining bench has a solid oak framework, while the Inglesham Whitewash Oak trestle bench is made with solid oak and oak veneers. Both are built to last using traditional woodworking methods.
What are the dimensions of the benches, and how many people can they typically seat?
Our benches come in two sizes. The Berkeley Nordic Oak dining bench measures H45 x W144 x D35cm and comfortably seats three people. The Inglesham Whitewash Oak 3 seater trestle bench is slightly longer at H45 x W160 x D35cm, also seating three.
Do the benches arrive fully assembled, or is some assembly required?
Our benches require assembly. Both the Berkeley Nordic Oak dining bench and Inglesham Whitewash Oak 3 seater trestle bench arrive flat-packed, ready for you to put together at home.
Are fabric or cushion options available for the benches, and can I request samples?
Our benches are crafted from solid oak with beautiful wood finishes - the Berkeley Nordic Oak dining bench features a clear wax finish, while the Inglesham Whitewash Oak trestle bench has a hand-applied whitewash finish. These benches don't come with fabric or cushion options, allowing you to enjoy the natural beauty of the wood. However, you're welcome to order free wood samples to see how the finish will look in your home. You can find these at the bottom of each product page, or view our full list of available wood samples.
How long will delivery take, and are any of the benches made to order?

What is the recommended care and maintenance routine for keeping the benches in good condition?
To keep your bench looking its best, simply wipe it down regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For spills, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. The clear wax or whitewash finish protects the natural oak grain, so avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For deeper cleaning, use a mild wood cleaner suitable for waxed finishes. We recommend re-waxing periodically to maintain the wood's lustre and protection. You'll find detailed care guidance in our furniture care advice section.
Do the dining benches come with a warranty, and what does it cover?
Yes, our dining benches come with The Cotswold Company 15-year Structural Guarantee. This covers all structural elements including the frame, joints, hinges and handles, giving you complete peace of mind. The guarantee runs from your date of purchase and doesn't require registration. Should you experience any structural faults, simply contact our Customer Services team and we'll arrange for a qualified technician to repair or replace your bench.
