Shoe Storage Benches

Shoe storage bench sizes for entryways

A shoe storage bench should fit the wall space without crowding the door swing or walkway. Widths here run 39 to 59.1 inches, depths 11.8 to 17.9 inches and heights 16.9 to 30.1 inches, so even the deepest models suit a narrow hall.

Leave about 36 inches of clear walkway in front of the bench where space allows. A seat about 18 inches high suits most adults putting on shoes.

Entryway bench with shoe storage options

An entryway bench with shoe storage here holds footwear on open shelves, in drawers or behind doors, depending on the design. Open shelves make shoes easy to grab and let damp pairs air out, while drawers and doors hide clutter from view.

Some models add rattan for a natural, woven texture.

Shoe storage bench with cushion and seat materials

A shoe storage bench with cushion gives a softer seat for putting on shoes, and some models here have padded tops in linen, chenille, velvet or vegan leather.

Vegan leather wipes clean easily after wet boots, while linen, chenille and velvet feel softer but show dirt sooner, so vacuum them regularly. Select models skip the cushion for a hard painted or wood top.

Wooden shoe storage bench construction

A wooden shoe storage bench here is usually built from a mix of materials: most list solid wood parts, and most also use MDF or engineered wood panels. Select models add a steel, iron or aluminum frame.

Wipe painted and wood surfaces with a soft, dry or lightly damp cloth, and set a boot tray on the lower shelf in wet weather so water does not sit on the panels.

Small entryway bench with shoe storage

A small entryway bench with shoe storage fits apartments and narrow halls, and the most compact models here start at about 39 inches wide and 11.8 inches deep. Hang hooks above the bench to hold coats and bags without using more floor space.
