6 Reasons I Like the Seaside Hall Tree as a Mini Mudroom…

Do you want a vintage style mudroom with distressed wood and antiqued hardware that you can assemble yourself? The Seaside Hall Tree has either a rustic woodsy feel or a beach cottage vibe, depending on the color you choose.

Crosley Seaside Hall Tree in Distressed Black Wood, with Cubbies, Coat Hooks and Seat Bench

This timeless piece of furniture offers multiple advantages, in addition to instantly de-cluttering your entryway. Plus, its classic design adds style to a foyer without you needing to have that decorator touch.

1. This Hall Tree has an Elegant, Custom Look:

Vintage Style White Beadboard Hall Tree with Bench Storage, Coat Hooks, CubbiesFirst of all, this all-wood hall tree features beadboard paneling and distressed edges. Therefore, it has a casual feel and a worn-in look (very comfortable to come home to at the end of the day).

Furthermore, it looks more custom-made and impressive, which makes it a perfect addition to a front entry where you welcome guests.

2. It has Multiple Storage Options:

Second, this piece of furniture offers several ways to store items. For instance, you get cubbies, coat hooks, a cabinet with a fold-down door and a bench.

Therefore, you can keep your coats, bags and shoes organized in different areas. Plus, you can customize the storage space to your particular needs.

3. Never Lose Your Car Keys Again, Maybe.

Third, the upper cubbies provide a great spot to keep keys, wallets, sunglasses and phones. Keep these smaller (and important) items out of the way so they don’t easily get lost. Not to mention these upper shelves are too high little kids, but easy for adults to reach.

Cubby Baskets to Hold Keys, Sunglasses, Wallets, PhonesNote: By the way, some people add decorative baskets in open cubbies that look like display pieces but actually hide you small items. To minimize clutter, you know. =)

4. Built-in Bench Comes in Handy in More Ways than One:

Fourth, you get a handy built-in bench. People can sit on it to tie shoes (it supports up to 250 lbs), or you can use it to hold additional bags and backpacks.

Memory Foam Seat Cushion to Fit Hall Tree BenchNote: The Seaside doesn’t come with a bench cushion. However, you can purchase one separately to fit the space. The seat dimensions measure approximately 35″ wide x 16″ deep.

This 2″ thick, high-density memory foam seat cushion fits the seat and comes in several colors. It has a removable washable cover, resists pilling and has an anti-slip bottom so it stays in place.

5. Enclosed Cabinet Hides Clutter:

Storage Under Bench with Cubby Divider and Fold Down DoorFifth, I really like the under-seat storage cabinet that conceals even more clutter. It makes a great spot for shoes, and you can even add plastic tubs inside to catch any dirt and further organize shoes. (Each cubby measures 16.5″ x 15″)

Alternatively, you can use the storage bench to to keep purses and bags out of sight. If your coat hooks are taken up with coats, scarves, umbrellas and hats, this extra space is really useful.

6. Easy Assembly that Can Save You Money:

Last, the Seaside hall tree is really simple to put together. In fact, the only tool you need is a screwdriver (the manufacturer doesn’t even recommend power tools). Plus, all hardware is included.

You can find assembly instructions here, and you’ll notice that you construct the entire unit while it’s laying on the floor (easy!).
