A gun concealment bench is a type of storage bench that’s built like a typical entryway bench and features a hidden storage compartment underneath a hinged lid. This concealment space is ideal for storing long guns, ammunition, and other firearms/hunting equipment.
The hinged lid is the floor base of another smaller compartment for storing everyday items like shoes or clothes. So there’s actually two compartments housed beneath the seat of the bench. At least, that’s how most concealment benches should be constructed.
The depth of each storage compartment depends on the manufacturer. Ideally, you want a bench that gives you enough space to store your everyday items in the top compartment so that the hidden bottom compartment can be devoted strictly for firearms.
The best gun concealment benches will have specialized concealment cabinets that are designed to securely store long guns and may have removable drawers for handguns and accessories which can be placed on top of the rifle bed. Think of the hidden compartment has a vertical long gun cabinet laid flat on the ground with the door acting as a seat.
If you’re in the market for a gun concealment bench that’s perfect for hiding your favorite firearm then check out some of these available models. Order one and all you’ll have to do when you walk in the door is throw your favorite conceal-carry pistol in it and throw your backpack right on top.
The Gun Source doesn’t currently produce any of their own, but the following options have been well reviewed and create a sort of bestseller list of what’s available for gun concealment benches.

Long Gun Storage Bench w/ Multi-Functional Lockable Concealment Cabinet (American Furniture Classics)
This is one of the few specially designed long gun concealment benches you will find on the internet. Its hidden storage compartment is built to securely house up to five long guns, such as hunting rifles and shotguns, using holding cut-outs carved from the wood and felt-lined barrel rests to protect your prized possessions.
Its lockable storage areas are cleverly built. For example, it includes removable storage trays for holding handguns and other accessories which can be placed over the long gun bed (and beneath the top lid). Remember, there are two hinged lids for covering two distinct storage compartments. Very practical.
The top storage compartment may not be deep enough to fit some types of shoes, but it’s better than not having one at all. Nobody is going to get nosy enough to remove all the everyday items you have stored in the top compartment to notice there’s actually a deeper hidden compartment beneath it.

Final Thoughts
A gun concealment bench is a highly functional piece of furniture with the dual purpose of providing seating and storage space while concealing your firearms and accessories from plain sight.
The designs of these benches can vary, but they’re usually constructed from very solid wood and other durable materials. If you have limited storage space and need an accessible area to store your firearms while keeping them out of sight, then a multi-functional gun concealment bench can be a great addition to your home.
Keep in mind that concealment benches are not the best option for accessing home defense firearms in case of an emergency. First of all, they’re usually situated near or in the entryway due to their size and use as a seat to put on shoes, instead of your bedroom or living room like a nightstand (although you could put it anywhere you want).
Secondly, you need one that features special compartments for handguns if that’s your preferred firearm for home defense.
Lastly, unlike other firearm storage options that allow quick access to handguns, such as concealment shelves, it will take a little more time to retrieve your firearm from a concealment bench.
