X-benches are one of the most versatile pieces of furniture you can own. One of my favorite uses for them is at the foot of a bed – either as a single bench:
or as a pair:
and {here} or they can be placed in a family or living room for extra seating:
If you’d like to add an x-bench or two to your home, here are some of my favorites at all different price points:
Higher end – $$$:
Mid-Range – $$:
Budget – $:
HomeGoods is a great place to shop for X-benches on a budget. While no two stores have the exact same selection, your store is likely to have several to choose from, here are some of the options at my local Home Goods stores – all for under $80:

Another option? Buy x-bench stools at thrift stores or on clearance due to being damaged or straight-up ugly and slip cover them. Sharon Berrey from Sharon Berrey Design made slipcovers for a pair of stools with an unattractive fabric, painted the legs, and ended up with this pair of beauties:

What do think – are you an X-bench fan?
Love the X benches you posted & the ones at Homegoods! I have a bench at the end of our bed that I found at Goodwill & I replaced the straps. Our local Frontgate has a fun bench too that is chrome w/white leather that would look great at the end of (my) bed.
You found some great benches! And great prices! {love Homegoods!} Thanks for including one of my rooms. Have a great Thanksgiving!
Hi Shannon,
I loved browsing through your blog to see your design projects. You are super talented! Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
Hi Karen,
You gotta love Goodwill finds! I never thought to check for a bench at Frontgate – will have to check that one out!
Great roundup of X benches…love the Kmart version!!! It has endless possibilities…….
This blog seems from Australia but the products from the USA. Can you find any of those nice x-benches in Oz?
Hi Martha – I do live in the US so unfortunately can’t be of help with Australian x-benches. Thanks for reading!
