How Much Does a Good Storage Bench Cost in the UK?

A storage bench is a practical piece of furniture for a UK home. It gives you a place to sit while also providing useful space for storing shoes, blankets, cushions, toys, bedding and other everyday belongings. Because storage benches come in many different sizes and styles, their prices can vary considerably.

So, how much should you expect to pay for a good storage bench in the UK?

Based on the current prices listed by Storage Bench UK, storage benches are available from around £39 to £229, depending on the type, size, materials and features. The website has affordable indoor options as well as larger, more premium outdoor models.

This gives shoppers plenty of choice without having to spend hundreds of pounds on a single piece of furniture.

What Is a Reasonable Price for a Storage Bench?

There is no single price that makes a storage bench "good". A suitable price depends on what you need from the bench.

For a simple storage bench for a bedroom, hallway or living room, you can find useful options below £100. For example, Storage Bench UK currently lists a 3 Tier Shoe Storage Bench at £65, reduced from £84, while a 3 Tier Wooden Hallway Storage Bench costs £67, reduced from £79.

These lower-priced options can be suitable if you want basic seating combined with shoe storage without spending a large amount.

For shoppers looking for a larger, more comfortable or more specialised bench, prices can move towards £100–£200. Outdoor storage benches can cost more because they may need materials and finishes suitable for outdoor conditions.

Storage Benches Under £50

If you have a smaller budget, you do not necessarily need to give up the idea of having a storage bench.

Storage Bench UK currently lists a Faux Leather Two-seater Folding Ottoman Storage Bench for £39, reduced from £45. It has a padded seat and can be used for both seating and storage.

An option in this price range can be useful for someone who wants additional storage without making a major investment.

Lower-priced benches can work particularly well in bedrooms, rented properties, children's rooms, home offices or other areas where you need simple extra storage.

However, when comparing cheaper options, always look at the dimensions, storage capacity, construction and intended use rather than focusing only on the price.

Storage Benches Between £50 and £100

For many UK shoppers, the £50–£100 range can be a useful middle ground.

At Storage Bench UK, several options currently sit within this range. The End of Bed Ottoman Storage Bench – Stylish, Strong, and Spacious is £69, while the Hallway Storage Bench and Coat Rack is £79. The Flip Down Design Narrow Hallway Storage Bench with Soft Cushions is £85.

This price range can be particularly attractive if you want more than basic storage.

For example, a hallway bench with shoe compartments can help keep footwear organised while giving you somewhere to sit when putting on your shoes. A coat rack and bench combination can provide even more functionality in one piece of furniture.

Storage Benches Around £100 to £150

Once you move into the £100–£150 range, you can find larger or more feature-rich storage benches.

This can be a good price range if you want a bench that combines appearance, comfort and useful storage capacity.

Storage Bench UK's current collection includes outdoor and indoor options at different prices. For example, several garden storage benches are currently priced around £129–£149, including a Rattan Outdoor Garden Storage Bench with Aluminium Frame at £129 and a Wooden Garden Storage Bench (Fir Wood) at £149.

These types of benches can be useful when you want seating and storage in a patio, garden or outdoor entertaining area.

Storage Benches Between £150 and £200

For shoppers who want a larger, more substantial storage bench, the £150–£200 range provides several choices.

Storage Bench UK currently lists products such as the Hallway Storage Bench With Cushion at £179, reduced from £199. The bench is designed to provide comfortable seating while offering storage space for items such as shoes and books.

There are also several garden storage benches in this price range. Current examples include a Wooden Garden Storage Bench at £179, a Garden Storage Bench in Grey at £189, and a Garden Storage Bench with 265-litre storage capacity at £199.

At this level, shoppers can find benches offering larger storage capacities, two-person seating and outdoor-friendly construction.

Premium Storage Benches Over £200

If you need a large outdoor storage bench with substantial storage capacity, spending over £200 may be worthwhile.

For example, Storage Bench UK currently lists a Waterproof Garden Storage Bench with 280-litre capacity for £229, reduced from £239. It is designed to provide substantial storage for items such as garden cushions, tools and toys while also functioning as seating.

A higher price does not automatically mean that a product is better for everyone. The important thing is whether the features match your needs.

If you have a small hallway, there may be little reason to spend £200 on a large outdoor bench. On the other hand, if you need substantial garden storage and seating, a larger model could provide better value.

What Affects the Price of a Storage Bench?

Several factors can influence the cost of a storage bench.

Size

Larger benches generally require more materials and provide more seating and storage space. A compact bench for a small hallway can therefore cost less than a large two-seater outdoor model.

Materials

The materials used can also affect the price. Wooden, rattan-effect, upholstered and weather-resistant benches can have different production costs.

Storage Capacity

A bench with a small compartment may be cheaper than one offering 150, 227, 265 or 280 litres of storage.

For example, Storage Bench UK's garden collection includes models ranging from approximately 125 litres to 280 litres, with prices reflecting differences in design and capacity.

Design and Features

Additional features can also affect the price. Cushions, backrests, doors, shelving, coat racks, hinged lids and weather-resistant finishes can all make a bench more versatile.

Is a More Expensive Storage Bench Better?

Not necessarily.

The best storage bench is the one that meets your needs and fits your budget. A £70 bench could be a better choice for a small hallway than a £200 outdoor model.

Before buying, consider where you will put the bench, what you want to store inside it, how often you will use it as a seat and how much space you have available.

It is also worth checking the dimensions carefully. A bench that looks ideal online may be too large for a narrow hallway or too small for the storage you need.
