Kolen Hall Tree with Storage Bench & Coat Hooks
Our Kolen Hall Tree transforms any entryway into an organized welcome space. This all-in-one storage solution features 10 double coat hooks, a lift-top storage bench, and an open shoe shelf — everything you need to keep jackets, bags, shoes, and seasonal accessories tidy.
Built with solid rubberwood legs and engineered wood construction, the Kolen stands 72 inches tall and spans 38 inches wide, making it ideal for standard entryways, mudrooms, or apartment foyers. The warm walnut finish complements both traditional and transitional interiors, while the cushioned bench seat provides a comfortable spot to put on shoes.
We designed the Kolen with real households in mind. The bench lifts to reveal generous storage for winter gear, pet supplies, or shoe care essentials. The lower shoe shelf accommodates up to 10 pairs of everyday footwear, and the double-hook design supports heavy coats without tipping. Assembly takes approximately 60-90 minutes with included hardware and illustrated instructions.
Hall tree essentials
Construction & Materials
We build the Kolen Hall Tree with durability as the priority. The frame combines solid rubberwood legs — known for strength and stability — with high-grade engineered wood panels that resist warping in fluctuating humidity. This hybrid construction keeps the piece sturdy while maintaining an accessible price point.
The walnut finish is hand-applied in multiple coats, then sealed to protect against everyday scuffs and moisture. Each of the 10 coat hooks is metal-reinforced at the mounting point to handle heavy winter coats, backpacks, and purses without loosening over time. The bench cushion features high-density foam wrapped in durable polyester fabric that resists pilling and fading.
Storage Capacity & Organization
Coat Hook Arrangement
The Kolen offers 10 double coat hooks arranged in two vertical rows. Each double hook holds two items comfortably — we’ve spaced them 3.75 inches apart so bulky jackets don’t crowd each other. The top row sits at 65 inches (ideal for adult coats), while the lower row is positioned at 48 inches for kids’ jackets or everyday bags.
Bench Storage
Lift the cushioned top to access the storage compartment, which measures 34 inches wide by 14 inches deep by 12 inches tall. This space easily holds a household’s worth of winter accessories — gloves, scarves, hats, umbrellas, reusable shopping bags, or pet walking supplies. The lid features soft-close hinges that prevent slamming and protect little fingers.
Dimensions & Placement
At 72 inches tall, 38 inches wide, and 18 inches deep, the Kolen Hall Tree fits standard entryway spaces without overwhelming the room. We recommend allowing 6 inches of clearance on each side for comfortable access to the hooks and bench.
The 18-inch depth extends far enough to catch items hung on the hooks, preventing coats from brushing the wall. However, it remains shallow enough for narrow hallways or apartment entries. When the bench lid is raised, you’ll need approximately 30 inches of forward clearance for full access to the storage compartment.

Questions About the Kolen Hall Tree
The Kolen features 10 double coat hooks, providing 20 hanging positions total. In practical use, you can comfortably hang 10-12 bulky winter coats or 15-18 lighter jackets without crowding. Each double hook is metal-reinforced and rated to hold up to 15 pounds, so heavy coats and loaded backpacks are no problem.
The spacing between hooks (3.75 inches) prevents items from bunching together, and the two-row arrangement keeps adult coats at shoulder height while positioning kids’ items lower for easy access.
The storage compartment inside the bench measures 34 inches wide, 14 inches deep, and 12 inches tall. This gives you approximately 3.3 cubic feet of hidden storage space.
To put that in perspective, it easily holds a family’s worth of winter accessories — scarves, gloves, hats, and small bags — with room left over. Many customers also use this space for pet supplies, reusable shopping bags, or shoe care items.
We include a wall anchor kit with every Kolen, and we strongly recommend securing the unit to wall studs for maximum stability. While the 68-pound weight and wide base provide good stability on their own, anchoring prevents tip-over risks in households with young children or pets.
The installation takes about 10 minutes and requires locating one or two wall studs behind the unit. Complete anchoring instructions with drilling templates are included in the assembly guide.
Yes, the bench cushion attaches with hook-and-loop fasteners underneath, making it easy to remove for spot cleaning. The cushion measures 36 inches × 16 inches and features 2-inch high-density foam.
If you need a replacement cushion or want to change colors, contact our customer service team. We keep replacement cushions in stock for all current Acme Furniture hall tree models.
For everyday use of the coat hooks and bench seat, allow 24-30 inches of clearance in front of the Kolen. This gives you comfortable space to hang and retrieve coats without feeling cramped.
When opening the storage bench lid, you’ll need approximately 30 inches of forward space for full access to the compartment. The lid lifts to about 45 degrees for easy loading and unloading.
The Kolen features a hand-applied walnut finish on solid rubberwood legs and high-grade engineered wood panels. This is a genuine wood finish with natural grain variation — not a printed laminate.
The multi-coat finish process includes staining, sealing, and protective topcoat application for durability. Each piece shows slight color variations, which is normal for real wood finishes and adds to the authentic character.
At 38 inches wide and 18 inches deep, the Kolen fits most standard entryway spaces including apartment foyers. The 18-inch depth is specifically designed for narrower hallways — it’s shallow enough not to obstruct traffic while extending far enough to catch hanging coats.
Measure your space and ensure you have at least 42 inches of width available (the 38-inch unit plus a few inches of clearance on each side). For depth, confirm you have 24 inches total when accounting for the unit and standing space in front.
