Although a corner entryway bench isn't a must-have feature, it can play an important role in the ambiance and overall design of an entryway. In order to find the perfect corner entryway bench, read on as we've listed the points you need to consider when making a purchase.
Corner entryway benches are perfect tools when making entryways feel welcoming and friendly. Aside from the fact that they look cozy, these benches have practical uses. They provide places to sit on as we put our shoes on. They can even be decorated with pillows for an added touch of pattern and color.
Corner entryway benches are great for small, limited spaces. When choosing one, make sure that its size and design match and accentuate your entryway's look and feel.
If you can only allow an addition of a corner entryway bench that has the capacity to hold a single person's weight, you must ensure that the person can sit on it comfortably. Its material and design must be able to maintain the furniture's structural integrity even after dozens of uses.
Before you start your search for the best corner entryway bench, measure the available space you have in your home for the furniture. Get a tape measure and list down the dimensions; this is an important step as we wouldn't want you to make a purchase that's too big or too small than what you would've wanted.
The material that was used in constructing a corner entryway bench will determine how long it will last. Some of the common materials used in making this specific type of furniture include wood, metal, plastic, and wicker.
- Wood - if you're looking for an all-natural look, go for wooden corner entryway benches. If you are particular with quality which we are sure you are, look for the unit that’s made out of a center-cut heartwood lumber. Also, make sure it has a consistent grain. As for its screws, the planks should be screwed using stainless-steel or zinc plated screws as they can be tightened easily if ever they become loose from aging and constant use. The best kinds of wood that make up corner entryway benches include natural cedar, pine, teak, Australian Jarrah, and natural wood. Teak is the most durable among all the types mentioned with natural wood being the least capable of withstanding constant use.
- Metal - just like wood, metal corner entry benches are capable of holding against constant, rough usage. But, you must be wary when buying a metal unit as it can be hard to incorporate to a room's aesthetics. If its look can match to your entryway's look and feel, then it's a good idea for you to buy one.
- Wicker and Plastic - These materials are the most affordable and the easiest to maintain. They're perfect for any setting, most especially wicker benches.
Now that you know all the considerations you have to make when searching for the best corner entryway bench, you're ready to scour the market!
