Inspiration for Woodistry's shoe bench designs comes from a lot of different places. The pattern for the sides of our new Kami bench is a stylization of a Japanese Torii gate. The torii gates are typically found at the entrance of Shinto shrines. Kami is the Japanese word for spirits, but it can also be translated to mean gods. So, you might say that this getabako was inspired by “God”. More at one of our blogs ...

This bench is constructed of a high-grade Baltic Birch plywood with a lightly-distressed Mocha stain, three coats of a durable water based acrylic finish and black acrylic for the accents. We can also make this shoe bench in all clear finish or other colors.

This compact shoe storage bench is ideal for small foyers, entryways, or mudrooms. The shelf is adjustable and removable. And, this shoe bench looks good from all sides, so it is great for places where the back of the unit will also show.

The bench holds about 8 to 10 pairs of adult shoes. These benches are shipped as Ready-To-Assemble, but we assemble and disassemble each one in our studio to make sure that everything fits together perfectly. Assembly only requires a Philips screwdriver, and we have gotten a number of comments from our customers telling us they are easy to assemble. We design and build everything to be high quality, so we use only the best all metal Hafele RTA hardware with brass inserts for the connecting bolts.
