Minimum size for a Bankette

[Danjo-SKO]

I’m about to do the interior carpentry. I got 160 sq ft of 1x6 T&G “blue stain pine” which is beetle wood that’s weird and interesting. Hmm we’ll see...

My question is, what’s the minimum size for a bankette? I have 66 inches. Is that enough for two seats that face each other and a table between?

Thanks y’all

Can you build thin backs instead of the normal thick padded variety? You'd lose at least a foot just from those.

I’m open to all ideas. This is a good thing to consider. Thanks.
