storage bench

Sit-and-stow furniture

A storage bench is a bench with a compartment beneath the seat for storing items—blankets, shoes, toys, or seasonal gear.

The seat typically lifts on hinges or slides forward to reveal the space inside.

Common in entryways, mudrooms, and at the foot of beds, it combines seating with organization: We keep the kids' mittens in the storage bench by the door.
