My wife and I went to Homearama this year and saw a floating bench in one of the eat in kitchens.

Does anyone have a photo or know how the bench was constructed? I want to build a wrap-around floating bench but don't know how to support it.

    JR,

    Do you still have the Plan Book from Homearama? I think you are talking about the bench seat in #5...those are often referred to as a "banquette" with the built-in benches.

    We have not built any of those....... I remember Nancy and I actually sat and rested on them for a few minutes.I should have looked under them to see how they were supported. They may have used ...»

    some sort of metal corbels right on the built-up studding to give it the strength/support it requires yet keeps it mostly hidden. Tim
