Do you want an easy way to dress up your entryway while adding a few convenient storage options? The Lynden antique hall tree with mirror adds elegant style to your front entry while giving you a place to store shoes, coats, bags, hats, umbrellas and more.
Advantage fo Having a Mirror in Your Hall Tree:
In addition, it comes with a built-in full-length mirror so you can make sure you don’t have spinach in your teeth before you leave the house.
Besides adding more functionality to your “mudroom”, this mirror also enhances the antique look of this furnishing.
Note: Mirrors also help to make small, dark spaces look larger and brighter. Therefore, if you have a narrow entryway with limited windows, a mirror can create the illusion of a bigger foyer.
Get Lots of Storage + Function Without Giving Up Much Space
Speaking of small rooms, this hall tree has a brilliantly-designed narrow shape that fits well in compact spaces. So, it can give you plenty of storage without overwhelming your entryway.
This antique-style hall tree provides ample storage for shoes and boots. In fact, this deep cubby measures almost 18 inches tall.
The flip-top storage bench lid cleverly conceals everything out of sight. Plus, it has enough strength to act as a seat when shut. Sit on it while you tie your shoes or use it as an extra place to set bags when guests come over.
How is the Lynden Hall Tree Different?
The Lynden Hall Tree differs from many mudroom kits in that it has a classy, elegant look. In other words, you can add storage and style next to your front door with a single piece of furniture.
You can give a great first impression to guests without having to hire an interior decorator or knowing how to decorate yourself. Simply assemble the unit, and you’re done. (Now, that’s my type of decorating!)
However, this piece is not constructed of solid wood (although it looks like it does). Rather, it contains manufactured wood with wood veneers.
Therefore, you can save money while still having a sturdy, durable and expensive-looking piece of furniture.
Having said that, this mini mudroom idea costs more than other models. For example, you can buy the Home Styles Mudroom unit for about $100 less. Although it does not come with a mirror, it does feature antique brass hardware that can enhance the look of a space.
Note: In addition to storing your frequently-used gear, hall trees help you stay organized with minimal effort. I find that I lose things less because I always know where to find them.
Besides the shoe storage cabinet, you get 3 double coat hooks and a couple of shelves for small items. Of course, you can also use the shelves to display artwork, family photos or holiday decor.

Use a Hall Tree in a Bedroom?
Due to the fact that this hall tree has a full-length mirror, you may decide to use it in your master bedroom instead. Or, in a guest bedroom or hallway for that matter.
If you don’t mind giving up a 41″ x 18″ footprint, you can add a significant amount of storage space without having to build a closet. Plus, you get the full-length mirror which, of course, is functional but also reflects light.
I mean, if you want to keep your purse, keys and jackets in your bedroom, this is a clever idea. Not to mention, multi-functional and convenient.
Finding Cushions for Your Vintage Style Hall Tree:
This unit does not include a bench cushion. That said, the seat dimensions allow for a standard-size cushion.
Therefore, you can easily choose from a variety of different styles, colors and fabrics without having to look too hard. And, you can get them fairly inexpensively.
For example, Blazing Needles makes a soft microseude bench cushion in 18 different colors.
