An upholstered bench that opens up is the simplest way to keep a bedroom or living room from filling with things that have no home. This one is 43 inches long, 15 inches deep and 16 inches tall, covered in soft skin-friendly teddy fleece over high-density sponge filling, and rated to carry up to 330 lbs, so it works as real seating rather than a lid you perch on. A tufted top and slim vertical strips down the sides give it the look of furniture, which is why it settles in as an end of bed bench, an entryway shoe bench or a window bench seat without looking out of place. Lift the padded lid and the interior holds 33 gallons, or 124 liters, split across three compartments instead of one deep well. Two dividers stay put with hook and loop fasteners and lift straight out when a comforter needs the full length; left in place, the middle bay measures 11.5 by 13.5 by 13.5 inches and the two side bays run wider at 15 by 13.5 by 13.5 inches, enough to keep folded throws, board games and off-season clothing from mixing together. Oxford cloth lines the inside so nothing catches on bare board. The whole bench weighs 15.5 lbs, light enough for one person to move, and the engineered wood body folds flat on the days floor space matters more than the storage. Assembly is required before first use.
