The entryway is the first thing guests see and the last thing you touch before you leave. A leather bench with shoe storage turns that small space into a place to sit, put on your shoes and keep the floor clear. Our new handmade Moroccan leather bench does all three, and it looks good doing it.
What Makes This Entryway Bench Different
Most shoe benches are made of thin particle board and plastic-looking vinyl. Ours is built the way furniture was made before mass production:
- Genuine cow leather top with three-panel stitching, soft to sit on and better looking with age
- Brass-tone nailhead trim around the edge for a classic upholstered look
- Tapered solid wood legs, a mid-century modern shape that keeps the bench light and open
- A slatted wood shelf underneath for sneakers, loafers and boots, so shoes can breathe and dry
- Handmade by artisans in Morocco, so no two benches are exactly alike
Three Leather Colors, Two Wood Colors
You can match the bench to your hallway, mudroom or bedroom:
- Black leather bench for a clean, modern look
- Brown leather bench for a warm, classic look
- Cognac red-brown leather bench for a rich, vintage leather tone
Each leather color comes with Natural Wood legs and shelf, which feel light and Scandinavian, or Brown Wood, which feels deeper and more traditional. Natural wood looks great with white walls and jute rugs. Brown wood looks best with warm tones and dark floors.
Choose the Right Size
The bench comes in 10 sizes, from a small square seat to a long hallway bench:
- 18 x 18 inches (46 x 46 cm): a small seat or footstool
- 36 inches (91 cm) wide: a good fit for narrow entryways
- 48 inches (122 cm) wide: seats two people and holds several pairs of shoes
- 60 inches (152 cm) wide: a family-size entryway or mudroom bench
- 84 inches (213 cm) wide: a long bench for the foot of a bed or a large hallway

Where to Use a Leather Bench with a Shoe Shelf
- Entryway or hallway: sit down to put on shoes, with a place to store them
- Mudroom: a durable bench for a busy family
- Foot of the bed: a stylish bench for bags, blankets and shoes
- Living room: extra seating that doubles as shoe storage
It pairs well with a wool rug and a mirror, and the Moroccan craftsmanship fits boho, modern, rustic and mid-century homes alike.
How to Care for a Leather Bench
Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and condition the leather from time to time. Keep it away from direct sunlight and heat. Real leather develops a natural patina, so the bench gets more character with use.
