That is one very nice shoe bench

I would need to keep my shoes polished for it

Very very nice. Like Jamie, my shoes would destroy its appeal:) I think it’s a wonderful use of materials and the seat is very inviting. Excellent work.

Great looking work Mike! I can understand why your wife is hesitant to use it, but it looks like it’ll last for years and make any entranceway that much classier! Nice job and thanks for the photos while building.

Great job! I like the subtle contrast of the two woods as well as the hefty look and the sculpted seat. I need one of those for my four kids, but I guess I should learn from your, umm…mistake I guess, and not make it too nice to use for wet shoes.

That is one nice shoe bench.
I have a shoe bench on the front burner and just gathering designs to go in my mud room and I’m seeing a lot come through lately with some good ideas.
Again, very nice.

Thanks fot the wonderful comments everyone.
@Eric, it’s mostly my design although I did get the idea to to cut the curve in the bench top from Shop Notes.
