All of that brings clutter, and a dining bench with a lift up lid offers a quiet way to absorb it. The hinged seat opens like a chest to reveal a generous storage box, giving you the capacity of a small cupboard without adding another piece of furniture to the room. In this article we explain exactly what a lift up bench is and how it differs from benches with drawers or open shelves. We look at the practical benefits, from flexible seating to a tidier look in open plan spaces, and suggest what is worth storing inside. We also set out the features to check before buying, including soft close hinges, lid weight, internal finish and seat strength, and explain when a different type of storage may suit your household better."}
