F.A.Q.
Can you sit on a storage bench?
Yes, you can certainly sit on a storage bench! They are designed for versatility and offer the perfect blend of functionality and comfort. Storage benches are crafted to provide ample seating space while doubling as a convenient storage solution. Ideal for entryways, living rooms, or at the foot of a bed, storage benches come in a variety of styles, ranging from plush, upholstered options to sturdy, wooden designs. They're a practical place to store shoes, linens, or toys and can also serve as a cozy spot to sit and relax. Storage benches are a smart addition to any home seeking to use space efficiently.
How deep should a storage bench be?
The ideal depth for a storage bench depends on its intended use and location, but a general guideline is between 15 to 20 inches deep. This range provides enough space to store items comfortably without making the bench too bulky or the seating area too shallow. A deeper bench offers more storage capacity, which is excellent for bulky items like blankets or outdoor gear. A shallower depth works well in areas with limited space where you don’t want the bench to obstruct movement through the room. It’s a balance of functionality and comfort. The depth should accommodate easy access to stored items while providing a comfortable seating option.
What is the average height of a storage bench?
The average height of a storage bench is typically between 18 to 20 inches, similar to the standard seat height of chairs. This height range means that most kids and adults can sit comfortably. It is an ergonomic choice for most people. This is also an ideal height for sliding under windows or fitting into entryways without imposing on the space. The height can vary based on design and intended use, with some benches designed to fit specific spaces like under a windowsill or at the end of a bed. When choosing a storage bench, consider the height in relation to its location and intended use to ensure comfort and functionality.
