Benches are an underrated, versatile, and often statement-making furniture piece. They make sense in virtually every room, from your bedroom (we love styling them at the end of the bed) to your entryway, and everywhere in between.

All benches provide a quick place to rest, put on shoes, or read the newspaper, but the best benches provide secret storage space, too. With a wide variety of options across several budgets and styles, our list of entryway benches, bedroom benches, and benches with storage will help you find the furniture piece you didn't know you needed.
