For us, the main boon is being able to use the benches as storage; they'll have full depth slide-out drawers for hiding crap that doesn't need regular access.
i get the point, but for me, more storage = more crap.
i considered built in bench seating when we did our extension, but decided that flexibility of movable benches / dining table / option to open out the floor space for parties etc. was more beneficial.have you considered storage benches on castors?

I think the intention with most of these bench setups, and deffo with the one we're installing, is to mostly use chairs for day to day seating, and the benches as 'overflow' during dinner parties or whatever, where you can make things nicer with extra cushions & shit. It's also nice to be able to lie along a bench and read (aka sesh phone) with your feet up.
