Has anyone here gotten a storage bench/coat thing made?

We don't have a closet by our front door and the space we do have is a bit awkward. I've been looking at pottery barn, target, ikea etc and nothing they sell seems to be what I have in mind or what will fit in the space we have. I want to have a bench/coat hanging system built for us but hubby thinks it will cost way too much (neither of us know how to swing a hammer so DIY is out of the question)

Has anyone ever had anything like this made? Do you guys have any pics you wouldn't mind sharing ? Was it ridiculously expensive?

Reading other posts I remembered that Huntington closets did our house and Kristina had told me they do all sorts of other projects so I will call and ask for an estimate but it's Sunday and I'd have to wait all the way til tomorrow lol

I don't know about having something built- I would check gothic cabinet though- they make furniture and it's pretty inexpensive.

Otherwise I'd check craigslist, thrift shops, and Facebook but and sell groups.

Have you checked wayfair? DH is building our front entry table, I know you said diy is out of the question though! No one in your family is handy and would help?

Try Huntington Closets -
They did my walk in closets, and my basement laundry room -
They have something similar to what you're describing online - I'm SURE they can make it any size you need.

Can't hurt to get an estimate

I have an entryway off the garage that's really deep but not that long. I hung hooks on one wall and created a customized shelving unit with Ikea pax. We have pull out bins for shoes, drawers for stuff and shelves for bags. I love it. Maximizes vertical space and keeps all out junk there. We have open shelves but you can get them with doors. No bench but I used to have a bench and we never sat on it, just piled our junk till it overflowed and looked like a hot mess. HTH
