The Apicizon 31-inch bench is designed for efficiency in small entryways, combining a 2-tier shoe rack with a hidden storage compartment under the seat. The flip-top lid features a safety-stay hinge that prevents it from slamming shut, making it a safer option for households with children. The 4-inch deep top cavity is useful for storing smaller everyday items like keys and mail. Constructed from engineered wood with a melamine veneer, the bench is rated for a static load of 330 lbs, though it is best used for short periods while putting on shoes.
The lower shelves are ideal for sneakers and flats, but users should note that the vertical clearance is not sufficient for high-top boots. The PU leather cushion is filled with high-density sponge, offering a moderate level of comfort and good resistance to daily wear. For the most stable assembly, it is recommended to tighten all hardware by hand. To protect the edges of the bench from moisture-related peeling, it is best to place it in a dry area or use it for shoes that are not soaking wet.
- Safety hinge prevents the lid from dropping on fingers.
- Hidden top storage keeps small entryway clutter organized.
- Compact 31-inch width fits easily into small apartments.
If you need more than two tiers of storage, the Coucheta 3-tier bench offers more vertical capacity.
