With a 60 cm wardrobe in only 40 cm depth, I would just manage alone in winter. I always have at least 2 coats and 2 jackets in alternating use. In addition, shoes, scarf, gloves and various handbags as well as shopping bags, etc. I have never missed a bench in the hallway, however. A 60 cm wardrobe with 40 cm depth is especially impractical because you hang the jackets one behind the other and not side by side.
