World Market Belize Curved Upholstered Storage Bench

The bench features a nubby boucle polyester fabric, which is generally durable and resistant to wear. While it adds great texture, keep in mind that boucle can snag more easily than tighter weaves, so it is best suited for areas where it won't be subjected to sharp objects or heavy pet traffic.

The interior compartment spans the length of the bench, offering a single, continuous space perfect for stowing away extra throw blankets, pillows, or a few pairs of shoes. Because the bench is 48 inches wide, it provides a significant amount of discreet storage without taking up excessive floor space.

The bench utilizes a standard hinged seat mechanism. It is designed for easy access, but it does not feature a soft-close or stay-open safety hinge, so you will need to hold the lid open while placing or retrieving items.

Assembly is straightforward and primarily involves attaching the wooden legs to the base. You can expect to have it ready for use in about 15 to 20 minutes with basic tools.

While the bench is comfortable, it is designed at a standard bench height rather than dining chair height. It works best as an accent piece at the foot of a bed, in an entryway, or as occasional seating in a living room.
