Seat on a shoe rack outside the front door of a home in Singapore. The seat is handy for taking off shoes when entering a home. Also for putting your shoes back on when leaving. Seen in Singapore at the Tanjong Rhu apartments near the Stadium.
You can buy all sorts of shoe racks. Why not buy one with a seat? The only objection is that you lose the top level for shoes. Two levels for shoes and the top for the seat, rather than three levels for shoes, with a solid or fold-up seat beside the shoe rack. Unless the rack is solid wood, strong enough to sit on, but dual purpose top level.

So I would tie on the shoe rack cushion with four tabs, like a removable cushion on a dining chair or kitchen chair or garden chair.
You can add your own cushion to a bench, but beware of sitting on a light shoe rack which is not heavy and sturdy enough to support your weight.
