Banquette?

[jani7]

Any thoughts on a banquette in a breakfast room?  I am thinking of doing one.  We have two small children so I thought it would be easy to get in and out of and just cozy BUT I also think it might always be so dirty with dropped food etc.  

Anyone have one? Love it, hate it?

I thought about putting one in our kitchen, but it won't fit. I love them. You could always use an indoor/outdoor fabric for the cushion for ease of cleaning.

I love them too but we don't have a good spot to put one in our kitchen. I wanted to use laminated fabric for a banquette if we had one. It's super easy to clean and comes in some fun prints.

I love them too. If I had somewhere to put one, I would absolutely have one...although I think the convenience might be a PITA if more than 2 people are sitting in there at one time and the person in the middle needs to get out LOL.

This.

My aunt has a real cute one built into a bump out in her breakfast area. The cushion runs on 3 sides with two chairs facing out the window. Getting in and out is a shuffle for more than 4 people. It's was also a little chilly in the winter. Cleaning was an issue- not just the cushion but the bench under, the toss pillows in the corners and the glass of the window.
