She has now settled on this one. She likes the angles:

Now I just have to figure out what those angles are.
A dining seat is usually about 18"- 19" high. Have her measure the height of the chair seats.... might want to have your bench that height. On a cushioned seat, the crown (peak of the cushion's arc) of the seat is typically 19".
The bottom outside span of the legs... have them recessed about 1/2" from the outside edges of the seat. You don't want the legs to extend beyond the seat perimeter.
Make a template with cardboard, if need be. Large ones are usually available at appliance/furniture stores (dumpsters or nearby). I've saved the boxes my TVs came in.... these are thicker than typical cardboard boxes and they don't bend/disfigure, as easily as typical cardboard.
