2 milk crates or other crates or even wooden boxes willdo the trick!
You can set them on their sides and use the openings as cubbies or you can put a lid on them to make a seat. Throw a cushion on or not depending on your taste and voila! Seating w/ storage!

We made one for our back door- simple 2x4s nailed for the seat and legs. Plenty of space underneath for the shoes. I don't have a tutorial for it yet but you can look at what other Hometalkers posted here-- https://www.hometalk.com/search/posts?filter=bench
