Looking to add a functional piece of furniture to your home? One that not only adds comfort to your home, but also help solve a problem too? Who here doesn’t have a cluttered closet? You look at the floor of the closet and you see piles of shoes. One way to end that nonsense would be to get a shoe storage bench.

What exactly is a shoe storage bench? That what I said the first time I heard of one. I was introduced to it while visiting a friend. They had this nice leather covered bench in their entrance hall. Not only did it look nice, but it was functional too. It is about 60’ long and just looks like a nice bench to sit on. Upon closer examination, you see that it has sliding doors so you don’t even see the shoes that are stored there. It has 16 little cubbies hidden by the door to hold 16 pairs of shoes. In addition it comes with 4 drawers for additional storage. This would be a good place to store keys, hats, gloves scarves etc. You can find this online for under $250. This is a great entryway shoe storage bench.

If you don’t want to spend that kind of money, but still like the function of a shoe storage bench, then you can certainly find benches that are lower priced.

For about $50 to $60 you can find a nice bench online too. A bench in this price range will be about 24 inches wide, enough for one adult to sit on. This storage bench will have 2 racks below the sitting area and will hold about 9 pairs of shoes. The racks will be out in the open so your shoes will be exposed.

This is a good type of bench to use in mudrooms and garages fro the winter. No longer will family members bring snow and slush through the home. They can sit on the bench in the garage, remove their shoes, store them under the bench and allow them to drip and air dry.
