Amherst - Entryway Storage Bench - Rustic Natural Aged Brown

The Amherst Entryway Storage Bench is made for homes that need practical storage without sacrificing classic transitional style. Handcrafted from solid wood with a warm, rustic-aged brown finish, it seats two comfortably and creates a welcoming landing spot in an entryway, mudroom, or at the foot of a bedroom. The clean lines and diamond-lattice back give it a timeless look that pairs easily with both modern and traditional decor.

Everyday use is simple: sit to put on shoes, stash bags and seasonal accessories inside the hidden compartment, or use it as an extra seating pause in a busy hallway. Durable joinery and a paneled front give the bench a furniture-quality presence, while the finish highlights natural wood grain for an authentic, slightly golden undertone. Assembly is required; the bench ships as individual pieces for final assembly at home.

Key benefits

Care & maintenance

Wipe clean with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive pads that can dull the finish. Use felt pads under heavy decorative objects to prevent surface wear. For best long-term appearance, keep out of direct sunlight and away from sources of extreme heat or moisture.

Sustainability & safety

This bench is crafted from solid wood; natural material variation is expected. For safety, place the bench on a level surface and secure to wall or use anti-tip hardware if storing heavy items inside or placing in a high-traffic area—appropriate anti-tip devices are recommended for storage furniture. Check local building codes and recommendations if using in family homes with small children.
