Dining room bench seating?

I love the look, but when I have friends over for dinner, the conversation and cocktails continue long after the meal.

I'm not sure a bench screams "kick back", much less "kick back and let's share stories over another round of drinks and dessert".

Anyone opted for dining room benches who can vouch for the comfort or lack thereof?
