I don't mind upholstered chairs in a formal DR, but I don't like arm chairs as the 'head' chairs. They belong in the living room.
I personally do not like the idea of bench seating - I feel like it's already past it's 'time'.
Tan vs white is just a silly argument - imagine what a wayward spot of pasta sauce is going to do to either.
In the original picture, while I like the color of the wood - I do not like the leg placement - whoever sits on the side is going to either have to straddle a leg or will be banging into them constantly. I prefer a pedestal or other non intrusive leg placement.
I'll see if I can post a pic in another reply. My dining room chairs are black and my bar stools are a cream color. Right now I just have the standard beige cushions they came with. I need to get around to recovering them with something more fun.
My house is a mix of palm beach chic and tropical traditional I'd say. My walls are a glossy white and I have a pink dining room table. But my kitchen, which the dining area is open to, is more traditional with cherry cabinets and darker granite. I have light hardwood floors throughout. I really think the chairs work for any decor except maybe ultra modern.

I bet I would love your decor! I love the bamboo/ lacquer/ bright color/ bold pattern look. I'm very torn on what home style I want to use. It seems like no big deal but furniture is so expensive and we have always rented and moved every few years so this is really the first time we are truly decorating and having to make decisions !
It really is so hard to narrow things down! Furniture is such a commitment in terms of cost and space.
I absolutely love my Chippendale chairs though, no regrets.
