Bench Out = More Formal Room

I moved the bench from the dining room table for two reasons.
#1- Emma fell off of it twice
#2- I wanted to create more of a formal dining room

You can see in this picture of when the bench used to be at the table.

I moved it over under the shelves. I think it looks so much better, and if we have guests over, I can easily slide the bench back over to the table.

What do you think? Do you like the bench better at the table or under the shelves?
Enjoy!
