Is this a hack? We needed storage and organization in this entryway. The Sektion cabinets are all attached to the walls, but the kallax-as-benches can slide out in case they ever need to be replaced (water, etc). Wish we had enough height space to build a base for them. So far it’s all holding up to Midwest winter! Also added blanda matt bowls to accent the nymö pendant light (which feeds behind the unit and plugs in behind a kallax with a light switch by the bench)

Hi, I have a 1400 wide by 70 deep coats and shoes alcove in my entry hallway and thinking of ways to easily put together some storage.

I am looking to make something like in the first picture. (Even though this looks like CAD, it was actually done on my iPhone!).

I am thinking to use 2x nordli for the bench with a worktop cut to size and placed on top, and a Metod kitchen unit beside it. I would add panelling and a light on the wall above the bench and then a cushion for seating. What do you guys think? Would the nordli be strong enough and the right height for a seat?

Any other considerations? I will update..
