I've seen benches at Ikea, Walmart, Kmart, Target, Sears, Pier 1, World Market, Wayfair, all online. Also check amazon.com which carries products from multiple companies, big and small.

Are you talking about doing a nook, also called a banquette, in a corner of the room? Or do you just want a bench, table & chairs?

I was thinking something like this. ( in the picture). I have looked at ikea and wayfair and other websites. Thanks so much for your help.

Do you have any DIY skills? That is a built in bench with a back on it.

I just did something similar, click the link here under the picture:

Look at the 4th picture. I did this with Ikea individual Expedit cubes/wall shelves. Unless you want an "L" shape to the bench, you could simply use the right amount, 4-5 cubes for the one wall. I sew, so I made the cushions and covered them myself. The chairs were ones I already had and painted, and I made the table because I could never find the right size anywhere to match the style I wanted.

I just searched on Amazon and found a rectangular pedestal table by Correll for $217.99. Search there for the table size you need, or just look online.

I did almost all my searching at second hand stores and online. I went to every Salvation Army, Goodwill store in my area. For a set up like your picture to work, and what I did, it really helps to have a pedestal table because a table with legs on the corners causes people to get caught up in them when scootching around to the back.

My chairs were ones I already had and simply painted them. If you have chairs already you can paint them in black like the picture, make a bench and buy the table.

Good luck.

Thanks so much for your help. I love the idea of the shelves from ikea. I think that just might work for me. Just a couple of questions about that. Do the shelves move away from the wall and or the cushions? Did you tie them together or to the cushions?
Thanks a million

I didn't attach the cubes/shelves. They can be attached to each other, but you'd need to get a piece from a home improvement store to do so. You'd want a metal piece that has holes in each end, about 2 inches long, and you'd put screws into each hole to attach them to each other. I don't know what they are called, but when I describe stuff, and their purpose at home improvement stores, they are usually pretty good about knowing what I mean. We use the table daily, and usually it's me sitting on the short end of the bench. Yes, the cushions move but if I wanted to I could attach it. We have cats, and it's their favorite perch spot to jump up and look out the window, LOL.

If you go with the individual cubes, you are going to have to buy them at an Ikea store. They don't sell the individual cubes online.

FYI: I got the foam for the seats & back from Joann's Fabric/Craft store. The foam is not cheap, it comes in 2" thickness (which I got), 3" or 4" thickness. I had purchased that decorator fabric years ago when it was on sale at Joann's. I knew what the purpose was, but wasn't sure how long it would be before I could use it, LOL. Joann's (or any other fabric store that stocks foam) will do the cuts for you. Just have the right measurements. If they don't, use an electric knife, a trick I learned a long time ago. If you don't want to go that route, I'd recommend getting outdoor bench or seat cushions big enough for a bench. Outside friendly fabric is good if you have kids or spills.

Good luck.
