Storage Benches - Benches for Storage - IKEA
Who couldn't use some extra seating and storage? A storage bench offers the best of both worlds. Perfect to use in a breakfast nook, hallway or as a makeshift window seat, adding a bench with storage is a great space saving solution. Make a storage bench comfy with some cushions and maybe even a throw.

Benches - Living Room & Bedroom Benches - IKEA
An incredibly practical addition, particularly in small indoor spaces, upholstered benches make a great space-saving solution when they feature built-in compartments for extra storage. Often used as dining benches, they are an efficient piece of furniture that can help you create more seating space in your dining room without adding visual clutter.
Bench with storage using kitchen cabinets
Ikea does bench sitting on some displays, I've seen them done with 40cm tall kitchen units and a butcherblock type top. I'd say add some L brackets to the inside, use a solid top and build a proper base (from wood, just don't use the plastic legs) and it will work. More on reddit.com

November 18, 2022Kallax as window seat bench? (Picture is not mine) Has anyone done this? I’m worried about if it can actually support the weight of a person sitting on it, I’d like it to be functional rather than just for storage & for looks. Is there another IKEA item I should/could use for this?
I have the 1x4 kallax as a toy box in my kid's bedroom. We built a cushion to go on top with a thick piece of particle board, glued foam to it, and stapled fabric on top. My husband (6'7" tall and 250lbs) sits on it regularly and it's fine.

PANGET storage bench, white - IKEA
2 weeks ago - Looks great, but difficult to put togetherMaryI bought the gray version of this storage bench, which has been discontinued. I liked how it is made of solid wood and that it has a tall height relative to other benches or chairs, making it easier for people with mobility issues to sit on. It also comes with the seat cushion.

r/ikeahacks on Reddit: Bench with storage using kitchen cabinets
October 29, 2024 -
I found this on Pinterest and it lead me to a Danish interior design influencer. From what I could translate it sounds like she used kitchen wall cabinets to create this and added padding to create the bench. Does that sound feasible? I’m wondering if it’s realistic to expect the cabinet to be able to hold someone’s weight while sitting on it

Ikea’s website doesn’t list weigh limits, despite advertising as benches to sit on with a cushion seat.
This will be going in the kitchen so ideally a pull out like the Smastad for pots and pans. Alternatively the Besta. Does anyone recommend?
