This really doesn't need a pic since it's pretty self explanatory, but I'll get a pic eventually.
I bought an old (but in great shape) piano bench from Goodwill about 6 months ago, intending to recover it and eventually use in our 3rd rental cottage (which won't be vacant anytime soon but I am collecting a few things here and there). Sunday I finally recovered it - it just required removing the hinges and stapling over the existing pleather cover. I could have added padding but I just went for quick and easy. Re-attached the hinges and I am going to add some drawer separator things and use it for jewelry storage! I feel brilliant, haha.
We have a perfect spot for it on our bedroom and it doubles as a place to sit to put on shoes, place clothes for the next day, etc.
