- Flip Top - Most antique storage benches come with a flip top. When it’s opened, it offers you a generous interior space. Flip top units often come with single lids but there are those with two half lids.
- Drawer - A drawer design has a solid frame. Of course, it has drawers that can be pull-out and hidden when not in use. This type offers a storage space that’s similar to the flip top but the drawers allow you to gain access to the items stored without disturbing the ones who are seated on the bench.
- Shoe - The shoe storage for antique storage benches is for footwear organization. There are individual cubbies in the size of shoes, making this type perfect for entryways.
- Cabinet - A bench with a cabinet storage is just like the cubby type as it features storage access right at the front surface of the bench. However, it has cupboard doors which allow the items stored to be hidden from plain sight.
