Within minutes to hours after death, the skin is discolored by livor mortis, or what embalmers call postmortem stain, the purple-red discoloration from blood accumulating in the lowermost (dependent) blood vessels.
Common Chair Rail Height. Again, the most common heights for a chair rail are 32/36 inches. Another rule of thumb is that they should be 1/3rd the height of the room.
The rule of thumb that can vary a bit but should be considered is the height of the seat should be 12 lower than the table. Most tables and desks are 29 -30 high. Placing chairs at about 16 -18 high. Bar height is 42 making most stools around 30 high. So your benches all seem to fit into that chair category of 16 -18 high. The depth would be a design choice rather than comfort if there is no back on it.
