Entryway bench size and fit

An entryway bench should leave a clear path through the door while giving you room to sit and pull on shoes. Depths here run 11.4 to 30.5 inches, so the slimmest models suit a narrow hallway, and widths run 23.6 to 77.5 inches for longer walls.

A seat around 18 inches high, close to dining chair height, is comfortable for most adults. Where you can, keep about 36 inches of open walkway in front of the bench.

Storage bench lids, drawers and shoe shelves

A storage bench gives you a seat and a place to put things in one footprint. Some models here open with a flip-top lid for blankets or bags, some have drawers, including rattan and cane fronts, and others use open shelves or cabinet doors.

Shoe Storage Benches, a narrower page under this one, gathers the benches with shoe shelves or compartments below the seat.

Dining bench seating

A dining bench can fit more people along a table than separate chairs, and a backless bench slides under the table when it is not in use. Select models here are upholstered dining benches in boucle, linen, chenille or vegan leather.

Choose a bench about 12 inches shorter than the table so there is room at the ends, with a seat near 18 inches high for a standard table.

Bedroom bench at the foot of the bed

A bedroom bench at the foot of the bed gives you a place to sit while dressing and to set out clothes or spare pillows. Select models here have arms or bolsters, in tufted linen, boucle, chenille, velvet or corduroy.

Pick one close to the width of the mattress or a little narrower: a queen mattress is 60 inches wide and a king is 76 inches.

Bench materials and construction

A bench's frame and seat decide how well it holds up in a busy spot. Most benches here list solid wood in their construction, such as pine or poplar, often paired with MDF panels, and some use a metal or steel frame.

Seats come in linen, boucle, chenille, velvet, corduroy, vegan leather and, on a select model, genuine leather.

Frequently asked questions

How deep should an entryway bench be?
An entryway bench is comfortable to sit on at around 16 inches deep, which leaves room to lean down and tie shoes. In a narrow hallway, a slimmer bench of about 12 inches keeps the walkway clear. Benches on this page start at 11.4 inches deep, and the deepest, an upholstered bench with arms and bolsters, reaches 30.5 inches.
How tall should an entryway bench be?
An entryway bench should have a seat about 18 inches off the floor, close to the height of a dining chair, so most adults can sit with their feet flat while putting on shoes. A lower seat suits children, and if the bench has a cushion, measure the height to the top of the cushion rather than the frame.
What is the best material for an entryway bench?
The best material for an entryway bench is one that handles wet shoes, bags and daily use. A wood or metal frame with a seat that wipes clean, such as vegan leather or a sealed wood top, holds up well by the door. Linen, boucle and chenille seats feel softer but show dirt sooner, so they suit a less busy entry.
Are there entryway benches with storage?
Yes. Many entryway benches include storage, and some models here open with a flip-top lid, some have drawers and others use open shelves or cabinet doors below the seat. For shoes, a bench with open shelves lets them air out, while drawers and lids hide clutter. The Shoe Storage Benches page narrows the choice to benches built for shoes.
How do you decorate an entryway bench?
Decorate an entryway bench with a few practical pieces: a cushion or throw for comfort, a basket underneath for shoes or bags, and hooks or a mirror on the wall above. Keep most of the seat clear so people can still sit down, and repeat one color from the rug or door so the bench looks planned rather than crowded.
What is a storage bench?
A storage bench is a seat with space built into it, under a lifting lid, in drawers or on open shelves below. It holds blankets, shoes, bags or toys while giving you a place to sit, which makes it useful in an entryway, at the foot of a bed or in a mudroom. Styles here range from upholstered flip-top benches to benches with rattan drawers.
What should you look for in a dining bench?
Look for a dining bench about 12 inches shorter than the table, with a seat near 18 inches high so it matches standard chairs. Decide between backless, which tucks under the table, and a bench with a back for longer meals. For family dining, choose a covering that cleans easily, such as vegan leather, or a fabric you can spot clean.
What is a bedroom bench used for?
A bedroom bench is used as a seat at the foot of the bed for putting on shoes, a place to lay out clothes and a spot to set decorative pillows at night. A storage model also holds extra blankets. Choose one close to the width of the mattress or slightly narrower, and low enough that it sits below the top of the mattress.
