I would\'t say bench because BENCH is a seat WITH or without a back.

neutral  Katherine Hodkinson: i agree that it could be a stool, if it's a one-person seat, but bench would be correct if it's for more than one person. the fact it CAN have a back doesn't mean the term is wrong for a seat without a back.
