This P Purlove wood storage bench is designed for narrow hallways and mudrooms, arriving fully built to save the user from the labor of assembly. The frame is a hybrid of acacia and pine, while the back panels and drawer bottoms use MDF to keep the unit light. The white-washed, distressed finish is applied to give it a vintage look, which also helps to camouflage the natural wear and tear that comes with daily use.
The unit contains three top drawers and three lower baskets. The drawers use wood-on-wood slide rails, which are durable but may require more effort to pull than metal glides. The lower baskets are woven from rattan and sedge; in high-humidity environments, ensuring the bench is placed in a well-ventilated area will help keep these organic materials in good condition. The bench is verified for a static load of approximately 200 lbs, making it suitable for one adult or two children.
The compact design is optimized for efficiency, but because the baskets are custom-sized to the cubbies, it is recommended to handle them with care to ensure they last the life of the bench. The seating area includes a removable cushion that matches the listing's aesthetic accurately. While the finish is aesthetically pleasing, it does not include a thick clear coat, so it is best kept away from heavy moisture or abrasive cleaning chemicals.
If you prefer a bench with a dark grey finish that focuses specifically on shoe storage, the Haotian Entryway Bench is an excellent alternative for modern interiors.
