Benching — Expert Answer

How do you handle guest seating in an office that's primarily open benching?

In a predominantly benched office, guest seating is typically handled in two ways: dedicated guest zones near reception with lounge chairs or standard side chairs, and pull-up chairs at bench ends for quick collaborative visits. Avoid putting permanent guest chairs within a bench run — it disrupts the flow and takes up a productive seat. A mobile/stackable side chair that can be pulled to any bench position works well for impromptu one-on-ones. FindOfficeFurniture.com carries guest and side chairs that complement benching environments — call 888-719-4960 for coordinated solutions and the best deals.
