What is the difference between benching and open-plan cubicles?

Benching uses a shared continuous surface with minimal or no vertical panels. Open-plan cubicles (also called low-panel systems) use individual surface panels with 42"–48" screen heights for seated privacy. Benching has a lower cost per seat and higher density; low-panel systems offer better acoustic separation and individual storage options.
