Bar stool design dilemma

Today I received an email with a design question on best option for a small bar that was built for a basement. The client wanted to have a back to the bar stool 

This area appears to be a  tight space and by adding three stools with backs becomes too busy I suggested to add a banquette bar height bench by Lee Industries you can do fabric or leather .

The bench keeps the look in the basement clean and neat vs stools everywhere keep it simple 

Happy Monday
