Terrace benches

Terrace benches offer plenty of seating in little space and instantly give a terrace structure. Leta Meubelen makes hospitality terrace benches in single and double versions, as corner benches or as free-standing benches, for restaurants, cafés, bars and hotels.

First decide on the position: along the façade, against a planter or railing, or free-standing as a room divider. Then choose material, colour, cushions and finish. Length, shape and version are tailored to your terrace.

Why choose terrace benches for your hospitality terrace?

Terrace benches are outdoor benches for two or more people that stand along a façade, railing or planter, or are placed freely on the terrace. They make use of edges and corners that often stay empty with individual chairs, and they give the terrace a clear line.

A hospitality terrace bench has another advantage: guests can easily shuffle up to make room for others. That makes benches ideal for groups, for after-work drinks and for families on a sunny afternoon.

What’s more, a continuous line of seating brings calm to the streetscape, which is especially noticeable on a busy square or a narrow pavement.

Single, double or corner bench?

The collection includes models in various sizes. Versions with SINGLE in the name fit at a small table or in a narrow corner. Double benches, such as TELLO ROPE / DOUBLE, seat two guests side by side. A corner model such as REINA CORNER fills a corner of the terrace and forms the basis of a group seating area.

For a lounge feel, choose a lower bench with cushions; for dining, a bench at table height. SALERNO / CANE SINGLE shows how cane gives a bench a light, natural look.

When choosing the size, take into account the varying group sizes on your terrace. A mix of single and double benches offers the most flexibility, while a corner bench pays off mainly in a spot where groups often sit.

Outdoor benches for hospitality: materials and maintenance

An outdoor bench for hospitality use faces sun, rain and wind all season long. So check for each model which materials and finishes are intended for outdoor use and what maintenance they require.

Rope, cane and wicker give a soft, summery look, while wood adds warmth. Loose cushions make a terrace bench more comfortable; agree with your team when they are taken inside. The simpler the maintenance, the better kept your terrace stays.

Combining terrace benches with chairs and tables

The strongest terrace layout combines benches along the edge with individual chairs on the open side of the table. Guests then sit with their backs to the façade and the walkway stays clear. For the opposite side of the table, choose from our terrace chairs.

For the tables themselves, compact laminate tables are an option used both indoors and on the terrace. Would you like your terrace and interior to match? Then choose indoor hospitality benches in a similar shape or fabric.

Checklist: choosing the right terrace bench

Run through these points before you order terrace benches:

  • Use: dining at table height or lounging on a lower seat.
  • Number of guests: single, double or corner arrangement.
  • Shelter: under an awning, under a parasol or in the open air.

Outdoor benches at restaurants, cafés and hotels

On a restaurant terrace, benches along the façade provide extra covers without making the terrace look crowded. On a café terrace, long benches are ideal for groups who join in spontaneously. Hotels often use outdoor benches on the breakfast terrace or around a lounge area.

You will find examples of outdoor spaces in our terrace projects. For an overview of all our outdoor furniture, see terrace furniture.

What is the advantage of terrace benches over individual chairs?

Terrace benches make use of edges and corners that often stay empty with individual chairs, and guests can easily shuffle up to make room. This lets you seat more guests in the same area and gives the terrace a calm, clear layout.

Which terrace bench suits a narrow pavement terrace?

On a narrow pavement terrace, a single or double terrace bench against the façade works best, combined with small tables. This keeps the walkway along the terrace clear. A made-to-measure bench can be matched exactly to the available length of façade.

Can a hospitality terrace bench be placed against the façade?

Yes. A hospitality terrace bench against the façade is a popular arrangement: guests sit with their backs to the wall and look out over the terrace. Combine the bench with individual chairs on the opposite side of the table for a flexible layout.

Which material should I choose for an outdoor hospitality bench?

That depends on the look and the location of your terrace. Rope, cane and wicker look soft and summery; wood looks warm and natural. Check for each model which version is intended for outdoor use and what maintenance it requires.

Can Leta make terrace benches to measure for a corner or a long façade?

Yes. Leta Meubelen makes terrace benches to measure in length, shape, colour, material and finish, including for corners and long façades. The lead time is 10–12 weeks once the design is clear; you can view models by appointment in the showroom in Eindhoven.

Are terrace benches suitable for a hotel terrace?

Yes. On a hotel terrace, benches are often used at breakfast, around a lounge area or along the façade of the bar. For dining, choose a bench at table height; for lounging, a lower version with cushions.
