The Franco Storage Bench from Dunelm is a stylish gem that blends retro vibes with a modern twist. Picture this: natural rattan fronts paired with a bold black surround, finished off with brushed gold-effect handles that scream subtle luxury.

It’s the kind of piece that fits right into a contemporary home or one with a bit of global flair. Designed by Dunelm themselves, this bench isn’t just about looks, it’s practical too. Read more…

You get three roomy cabinets perfect for stashing shoes, bags, or whatever else you want to tuck away in your hallway. Plus, it doubles up as a handy seat, so you can pop your shoes on without a faff.

Made from engineered wood with a mix of wood fibres, particles, and a touch of pine and rattan, it’s got a solid feel to it.

People say it looks great, sturdy, well made, good finish, definitely good value. Others call it a great bench, high quality build, big enough for seating and storage.

The assembly’s fairly easy to build and the finished product is great, with magnets to keep doors closed and hold hinges that make it look much more expensive than it is. Though it’s a 2 man job as quite heavy, it’s worth the overall effort, according to reviews.

One happy buyer said they bought this bench to go in the hall and wasn’t disappointed, easy to assemble, looks stylish, and the seat pad is comfy, a lovely addition.

It’s not just about function, this bench brings character too. The wood-effect finish keeps things sleek, and it’s a doddle to wipe clean. Plus, the timber’s responsibly sourced, so you can feel good about it.

A proper all-rounder that’s won over loads of folks!
