So once we noticed there wasn't a place to put our coats (pretty quickly I might add) I started to try to think up solutions. At one point we hung up a set of hooks so that we could hang our coats on the wall in the entry... Goober eventually pulled it down over the course of many days of tugging on his coat to get it down, which of course I nagged him not to do. The solution I have finally set upon is to put a bench in the entry and then a coat tree in the opposite corner.
After setting on this solution I promptly procrastinated it. We put a set of hooks over the laundry room door (downstairs) and made due until I could find stuff I liked.
Then I got caught up with life and didn't even look for stuff I liked. Any other mom's do this? I'd imagine so.
Anyhow, recently my mom showed me a bench in one of the many magazines she receives in the mail. It was much like my bar stools in my kitchen and looked like it would fit well with my taste and fit in the designated area. I thought it was cute and said as much. Mom asked if it might work if she ordered it (she had a discount or gift certificate of some sort for this particular magazine) and had it sent to my house and then I would pay her the difference. This was fine with me, since--of course-- it encouraged me to get off my
So alas the bench came via UPS today and I quickly put it together.
Fits pretty well, and Turbo definitely likes it... guess this means I should probably start looking for a coat tree, eh? :)

I love the bench. I wish I had a "mud room" by my garage door-someplace to put wet/muddy shoes. I could always try to add something like that in, but it would be taking it out of our garage, and who knows how much that would cost! So until then, we'll make due with our one closet in the hall.
The bench is perfect, and so is the sweety sitting on it! He's getting HUGE!
It tickles me to see that Turbo likes it, too! Glad it fit. I had no idea you'd need to assemble it. Sorry 'bout that.
It's such a nice bench! I have a coat problem too. I think we are going to put old school lockers out in the garage. Hopefully it will work!
We are also experiencing coat problems at this house. But if this nice weather persists, maybe I can put the problem off for yet another year... :) Your bench is adorable. Very asian and very cool.
