These small entryway storage bench picks run from 9.4 inches deep to 15.15, with sizes spelled out so you can check them against your own wall before you order. Widths range from 23.6 to 47.2 inches.

Questions people ask

What size entryway bench fits a small entryway?

A depth of about 14 to 18 inches usually keeps a walkway of around 36 inches open. In a very narrow entryway, a bench closer to 12 inches deep is easier to live with.

Can an entryway bench have shoe storage?

Yes, many benches have open cubbies, a shelf under the seat or a flip-down compartment for shoes. Check the listing for how many pairs it holds.

How do you add storage to a small entryway?

Use a bench with built-in shoe storage and put wall hooks above it. That handles shoes and coats without taking extra floor space.

How deep should an entryway bench be?

About 14 to 16 inches suits most small entryways. In a very tight entry, closer to 12 inches keeps the walkway clear.

What goes on an entryway bench in a small space?

Keep the seat mostly clear, with at most a small tray or basket for keys. Use the space under or beside the bench for shoes and bags.
