Best Shoe Storage Benches in the UK

If you're looking for something luxurious, you can stop right here. The Tetbury brand offers a beautifully-crafted storage bench with complementary wicker baskets that will look perfect in any interior, traditional or contemporary.

The bench comes extremely well-packed and fully protected with lots of polystyrene and solid corner side guards, meaning the whole item is supplied without a notch. And more importantly, it comes fully assembled. So, actually, you have nothing to do apart from putting the seat cushion on the top. By the way, the said cushion features a cover that can be unzipped and thrown into a washing machine for cleaning. The same goes for box linings.

The wicker storage baskets with lining beautifully hide what's inside, making the bench perfect not only for hallways but also for bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, kids' rooms, porches, and other spaces you want to keep tidy.

The wooden bench is extremely well made and strong enough to withstand three adults sitting together. However, the tradeoff for its incredible sturdiness is that it's a bit on a heavy side. But if you need something that is built to last, this minor con shouldn't be a dealbreaker for you.

This piece of furniture looks super stylish and is very durable. The wicker baskets are generously-sized to offer you an ideal storage solution that is both beautiful and functional.

The Vanimeu Shoe Storage Bench with seat is a decent piece of furniture that is versatile enough to hold not only shoes but also some other entryway essentials, whilst providing you with a comfy place to sit on when putting your footwear on.

Understanding the needs of customers and how much they’re going to spend on simple shoe storage, the folks behind Vanimeu have made it with MDF material. It's not as pricey as natural wood yet not less durable. The bench is produced from high-density sheets with the thickness of 16mm and can withstand the weight of 200 kg. The way it's built really makes it stout and well put together. The only slight complaint is that the cushion it comes with is not that great. After a while, it might deform under your weight.

All joints are manufactured with 3-in-1 connection, which makes the cabinet fairly stable. Plus, it has no sharp corners to be potentially dangerous for children. And what is important, it has no external screws to scratch you.

The bench, however, requires minimal assembly after delivery. Luckily, it comes with pre-drilled holes and a detailed installation guide. Once put together, it makes 80 x 30 x 42cm. It features two shoe shelves and two storage drawers under the seat to help you organise your shoes and some other items. On the side, there is a handy pocket for shoe brushes, shoe polish, and the like.

So if you need a good bench to store your footwear and some extras, this one may be a solid fit. It's very modern-looking and stable.

The SoBuy White Storage Bench offers an elegant and moderately-priced solution to keep your footwear neatly away out of sight. It's fitted with three handy drawers for storing shoes in. Each box is 31 x 30 x 22cm and how many shoes you'll be able to fit in each one depends on your shoe size. Actually, it fits around 4-5 pairs, however, if you have petite feet, you'll be able to fit up to 5 pairs in one drawer. That said, if you need to put large work boots, you would get around 2-3 in one basket.

What we liked the most is that each drawer can be pulled out completely. This way, you can take it out and fill with shoes, books, magazines, and other stuff. The baskets have a concealed design and everything will be neatly hidden inside. And if you think that the contents can become damp, you have nothing to worry about. There are special slots to let the air circulate in and out freely.

The bench comes flat packed and requires assembly. That being said, the item is supplied with clear instructions and numbered bags with hardware. We can state that it's not the easiest thing to put together and may take you a while. But once assembled, it looks stylish and feels sturdy.

In all, this is a great piece of furniture to rid you of messy shoes in your hallway and pain in arranging them in the rack. And thanks to its concealed design, it can easily fit whatever else you need. It won't look out of place even in your bedroom.

If you're in the market for a compact yet versatile storage solution for your hallway, consider the Cherry Tree Furniture 2-level shoe rack. At 60 x 30 x 45 cm, it won't occupy too much space near your door but will provide enough room for those pairs of shoes you wear daily. It offers a nice way to keep them tidily in one spot.

The rack has 2 levels and can easily hold approximately 6 pairs of adult shoes. However, take note that the shelves are not tall enough to take high boots. Only low cut models can fit. So, be height-wise and keep that in mind when making your choice.

The bench is well designed and can be assembled by one person in less than half an hour. Once set up, it looks exactly like the photos. It's cute, solid, and stoutly built. Depending on your decor, you can choose White, Black, or Oak designs.

Last but not least, the seat on the top is fairly cushy so you can sit comfortably when putting your shoes on. It's covered with PU leather, hence, you can simply wipe it clean with a damp cloth when needed. No removable fabric covers to send in a washing machine from time to time! Still, the main perk of the seat is that it can be lifted. Under the seat, you'll find a small compartment for shoe shiners, polish, brushes, shoe trees, and similar stuff.

All this makes the Cherry Tree small shoe storage bench a practical and comfortable solution for tight spaces. It's quite compact and can fit just anywhere you need.

VASAGLE offers you a unique shoe cabinet with the grids you can customise the way you like. The thing is that the bench arrives disassembled and it's up to you to set grids on the two sides or not. And if you decide to set the panels, you'll be able to adjust them the way you like depending on your footwear.

In other words, there are three pairs of pre-drilled holes on both the left and right sections. And according to the height of your boots, you can install the separator plates as you need. The storage rack comes with numbered parts, extra screws and dowels, and illustrated instructions for a smooth assembly process.

The bench is made of high-quality chipboard which meets the E1 degree standard. The quality of the product is nice and that's the case when you get exactly what you pay for. It feels solid and has a bearing weight capacity of up to 150 kg. The only slight gripe with it is that the laminate finish may peel off over some time.

On the top of the cabinet, there is a soft cushion filled with sponge and covered with cotton-ramie fabrics. It attaches to the bench with 4 Velcro strips and has a removable cover that can be easily zipped off for cleaning.

To wrap things up, this is a perfect cabinet for storing various types of shoes. It can hold up to 10 pairs of shoes (UK size 9.5 max).
