Every evening your hallway meets you first.
A shoe bench stands there not merely as furniture, but as a small promise of care: a place to sit down, breathe out, unlace shoes without hurry. It turns a routine action into a moment of personal comfort and keeps the entrance area calm and orderly. This is one of those things that quietly make daily life gentler.
Who We Are
Korol Workshop is a family-run Ukrainian atelier that has spent over a decade turning solid wood and natural textiles into lasting pieces for the home.
We work slowly and deliberately: no mass production lines, no compromise materials. Every bench passes through the same pair of hands from the first cut to the final stitch.
Our guiding values are straightforward — honesty in craftsmanship, respect for the wood’s natural character, and responsibility toward the people who will live with our work for years.
What We Offer
Our collection unites more than thirty shoe bench models, each carrying the DNA of classic French design — soft lines, balanced proportions, genuine functionality.
You can choose:
- compact 60–80 cm versions for small hallways
- wider 100–140 cm models with room for two
- seats upholstered in velvet, bouclé, dense cotton, eco-leather or your own fabric
- open shelf, closed drawer, or both
- backrest or clean silhouette without one
- wood finishes from pale ash and honey oak to charcoal-stained walnut
Every detail is thought through so the bench fits both narrow corridors and spacious entrances.
When It Becomes Essential
- You step inside exhausted and the first thing you want is to sit down comfortably.
- Children or older family members need stable support at a convenient height.
- Shoes constantly scatter across the floor and visual chaos irritates you.
- Guests arrive often and an extra seat right at the entrance feels welcoming.
- You have finally decided to replace temporary plastic racks with something that belongs in your home for decades.
Why Korol Workshop
We build with solid hardwood, never chipboard.
Fittings are European (Blum), mechanisms stay smooth after years of daily use.
Finishes use only ecological water-based oils and varnishes — the bench arrives without any chemical smell.
Each piece carries an individual master’s mark, a 5-year frame warranty and attentive post-purchase support.
Above all, we make furniture we would place in our own homes — that is why thousands of our benches have found their permanent place in hallways across the country.
