  • Dining chairs

    We don’t use the dining table much and have taken the chairs out, looking at a bench or hutch with some storage for one side of the table. Anyone have any ideas or mods that you have done?

      Thanks Howard, like that but for us think one booth. the other side of the table next to the theater seating is for the dog crate.

        Randall - The booth seats are sold individually. I bought two to complete our modification.

          Jim did you have to move the table over to fit the booth in?

            Yes, a few inches.

              We bought this. Put a boot tray on the bottom shelf to store shoes, and there is storage under the lift-up seat.

                While I'm not a furniture maker and it's not as nicely upholstered as the store bought benches, I was able to put this together in about a day (staining and varnish took longer). Things tend to collect on flat surfaces including seats so we wanted something with a draw instead of a lift top. The high back protects the window trim.

                When we travel we remove the pad and strap our remaining chairs to the top of the bench (we have a recliner that gets moved into the space occupied by the two chairs).

                  John,
                  I made the mistake of opening your post while my wife was sitting next to me. She leaned over and said "ooooo..." when she saw the picture. Thanks. Thanks a lot. Another project added to my list.

                      I am looking to replace the chairs in my 315RLTS. I saw a post from ANDI also, with a link to AMAZON on a bench they bought. Can anyone give me the deminsions of the chairs or size of a bench to put in the same area as the 2 chairs?

                        Our bench base is 34 1/2"L x 21 1/2"D x 17"H. The back extends 19" above the seat. All dimensions were based on the available clear floor space, the height of the existing chairs, and the desire to have a 3" foam pad to sit on. If your going with a store bought bench you'll want to determine your maximum allowable dimensions and then find something that fits.

                        I see that GD offers a storage option for the 315RLTS that looks like a bench with a lift top and a wall mounted padded back. It might be worth while to see if this is available as an after market purchase.

                          I am selling my 4 dinette chairs for our 315RLTS Reflection. We wanted benches in place of them. The are in excellent shape. Just let me know. We are in Tucson AZ
