This Entryway Bench Is Like Mary Poppins’ Carpet Bag—We Can’t Believe How Much Stuff Can Fit Inside

Your entryway is often one of the toughest spots in your home to get—and keep—organized, especially in a small space. But multitasking storage picks can help, and that’s where this top-rated storage bench from Vasagle comes in: It does double duty as shoe storage and a bench for putting on and taking off shoes (or even just a drop zone for bags). The best part is it keeps sneakers, boots, and sandals all out of sight, unlike a typical shoe rack. In fact, guests who visit your home might not even realize it has storage in it at all. 

The stylish bench is currently on sale at Amazon for $63, and it’s a big hit with shoppers, having earned more than 1,700 perfect five-star ratings and a 4.6-star rating overall. It has hundreds of rave reviews that detail how versatile and sturdy it is, as well as how roomy the inside storage compartment is, too. 

Vasagle Storage Bench

Many storage benches on the market are quite large, but this cabinet is just under 16 inches deep and 29.9 inches long, so it’s a bit more compact and could potentially work well in smaller entryways. And while it definitely has farmhouse vibes, it would be at home in just about any space because it comes in six different colors and finishes. We’re partial to this calm and cozy laurel green, but you can get the bench in solid white, charcoal gray, and dove gray, as well as two wood finishes—one washed in greige, and one in rustic wood. And all you have to do to access the storage within is simply open up the top. 

It’s not just for stashing shoes in your entryway, though. Shoppers in the reviews say they also use it in living rooms and bedrooms to store things like their kids’ toys, extra towels and linens, throw blankets, and so much more. Some use it to store pet food and supplies, and a clever few even use it to disguise their cats’ litter box just by cutting out a small entryway for them to enter and exit on the side. Basically, the possibilities are endless. 

The storage bench has two safety hinges, one on each side, so if you choose to use it as toy storage or in an area where curious kids might try to open it, you won’t have to worry about it slamming down on their (or your!) fingers. It also has a handle on either side to make moving it easier when needed. 

If you’re concerned about durability, rest assured that despite its affordable price tag, the storage bench is sturdy. The top has a 300-pound weight limit, same with the inside storage area. And shoppers confirm it really does hold up. “The best part about this chest, however, is that for months it has stood up to cats jumping/climbing on and off of it and children running around, and yet it still looks nice sitting in a high traffic area,” one wrote.
