always nice to include a family piece.

I wouldn't worry about putting it in a corner, find the best spot for it with one wall and put a cabinet(for additional storage) against the other bench

Or even place a piece of furniture (setee or bech opposite the wing wall. Try it between the two windows or even on the opposite side of the room, where the room juts out.

Is that island free floating? you could position the table unit against it in the center of the kitchen.

Choose the area of the flat wall you would like to place the booth and add a perpendicular pony wall to it. It want change the open concept feel.

Thank you guys so much. I just downloaded this app. I didn’t even know it existed. I will definitely give it a try. I hate knowing that it’s in storage and it’s costing me 100 and something dollars a month in climate control.

I agree with Lyn’s ideas. The piece was built to go into a corner but think of it as your sectional - part of it is floating - no wall. None of the bench piece must be against a wall & all of it can be free floating. If the backside of the corner bench unit isn’t attractive enough to be in view, then maybe a narrow console table would need to sit against back or some creative non-permanent something placed against back. If you have the dimensions of the piece map it out on floor to figure out spacing before bringing it out of storage. If you happen to have a bonus room in this home or future homes, the piece would make a great game table set up. Doesn’t have to be in a kitchen / dining area

A ponywall would work, but is the back finished? If so, is there room in the area to place a non-wood table behind one side? Something like a console or sofa table. You can dress it up with a lamp and a few accessories, also use for serving when entertaining.

How nice to have such a special family heirloom.

Then bring it into your space, and you will be able to figure out the best option. It might not be exactly how you imagined, but you will have this heirloom in your home and enjoy using and seeing daily.

I think the actual table and bench can work without a corner but the chairs for me would be a no go. I do agree wait until you are in then it will be easier to figure oout where it can go. I think it is nice you want to honor it but really does it work in your life . I dislike that type of dingin seating always so my advice is think about how it works for your life as it is now .

It’s a charming piece. Wherever it goes, consider some colorful cushions to add more comfort to sitting on it.

Even maybe use the pieces seperate like the bench part in a nice entry could work and then the table somehwere else like a kids craft room with a good cover on the table I agree you need to be in the house then decide .

What a treasure! If it were in my family I would value it as you seem to do.

Are you a reader? How about commisioning a bookcase that is level with the top of the bench and backing it with a display of books. Position it to fit without making any alteratnion to the original bench. You could put one edge of the bench against a wall if you like, or have the shelves surround on two sides if you do not.

If you are not a book person, you could use the shelves to display any kind of of object you enjoy collecting, whether art, pottery, glass, or travel souvenirs.

Would you replace your current table with this beauty?

Do you have a basement where you could create a rathskellar?
