If you have space for a window seat Four generations under one roof has this tutorial to help you build one.
I love how they did this from scrap wood and things they already had.
Its a nice bench for in front of a window but I would love it by the back door for somewhere to sit to put shoes on and off.
Could even work in a kids room as a toy box/window seat.
