  • Patent number: 7040695
    Abstract: A piece of furniture for changing shoes has pairs of slippers, a bench, and a cabinet. The bench has a seat and a shoe display or shelf beneath. A front leg, an armrest, and a rear leg assist guests at the end of a bench. A backrest spans from the rear leg to the cabinet. Opposite the front leg, a cabinet stores slippers in compartments behind doors. Alternatively, the furniture has two benches and the backrest omitted. Upon entering a house, a guest sits upon the bench, removes his shoes, places them upon the shelf, and puts on slippers from the cabinet. To leave, a guest places soiled slippers in a drawer inside the cabinet, dons their shoes, and returns to the street. Later, a homeowner retrieves the soiled slippers, cleans them, and returns them to the compartment for use by their next guests.
