The Rochester Rattan Storage Trunk brings generous storage and natural character to bedrooms, living rooms and hallways. Handwoven from whole rattan cane in a softly weathered antique grey colour, it has the relaxed appeal of a piece that feels comfortably established in the home. Brown leather straps and metal buckles add traditional detail to the rectangular silhouette, while the close woven texture keeps the design warm and inviting.

Position the trunk at the end of a single bed as a blanket box to keep spare blankets and bed linen neatly contained, or use it in a living room or rumpus room for cushions, throws and everyday household items. It also offers practical hallway storage while adding texture to an otherwise simple space. The neutral grey-brown rattan pairs easily with cream upholstery, natural fibres and wooden furniture, making it well suited to French Provincial, country and relaxed coastal interiors. The removable cotton lining helps create a tidy interior and can be taken out when required.

Each trunk is handwoven from whole cane over an iron tube frame, creating a piece that is sturdy while remaining relatively lightweight for its size. The rattan achieves its distinctive kubu colour through a natural ageing process, giving every trunk subtle variations in tone and texture. A hinged lid provides convenient access, and the leather straps secure the trunk with a classic finishing touch. This piece is intended for storage rather than extra seating. With its substantial capacity, enduring materials and detailed woven construction, the Rochester makes an attractive and useful home for blankets and other belongings.

Delivery

This trunk is shipped from our Peakhurst NSW warehouse.

If your item is in stock, please allow approximately 3–7 business days for despatch. Furniture is sent with a specialist furniture carrier and delivery is generally expected within approximately 1–5 business days after despatch, depending on your location and carrier availability.

If your item is on backorder, please refer to the expected despatch timeframe shown above. This is our best estimate based on the latest information from our supplier, but dates can occasionally change due to production or international shipping delays. Placing your order will reserve your item from the incoming stock and we’ll let you know if there are any significant changes to the expected arrival date.

Prefer to collect? You’re very welcome to collect your order from our Peakhurst NSW warehouse. We’ll send you an SMS as soon as your item is ready for collection.

Furniture Delivery & Freight

Because furniture is bulky, delivery is arranged with specialist independent furniture carriers rather than our standard parcel couriers. Freight charges vary according to the size of the item and your delivery location.

Our website will calculate a freight charge at checkout and this will be correct in most cases. However, furniture freight is individually quoted by our carriers and the online calculator can occasionally be inaccurate, particularly for some rural or regional locations.

If the actual freight cost is significantly different from the amount calculated at checkout, we’ll contact you before arranging delivery to advise you of the correct freight charge.

Furniture deliveries are to the front door only. Carrier pricing does not include taking furniture inside your home, positioning it or unpacking it.

If you’d prefer to confirm the freight charge for your blanket box before ordering, you’re very welcome to contact us for a shipping quote.

We understand that sometimes an item just isn’t right for you. We have a 14-day no questions asked returns policy. For change-of-mind returns, we’ll provide a refund for the item once it has been returned to us in as-new, saleable condition.

Please keep in mind that return freight for furniture can be considerably more expensive than standard parcel freight due to its size. See our full returns policy.

About Rattan

Rattan is a beautiful material for making furniture that naturally grows in very long canes perfect for weaving. To create a basket, the canes are cut down and then the long bundles are soaked in water for a few weeks to produce this lovely aged, warm grey colour known locally as 'kubu'. It is a very strong material that is perfect for making lightweight yet very sturdy pieces.

Rattan Care

As a natural material, rattan is sensitive to its environment and a little bit of care and attention will keep it at its best.
Keep your rattan out of direct sunlight and do not keep it where it can get wet from rain. The sun can cause the colour of the rattan to change and it can also cause it to dry and split.
Brush your rattan on a regular basis to remove dust and prevent the growth of mildew. If you live in a humid climate, make sure to do this more often. Using a brush allows you to get into the gaps in the weaving to keep the item free of dust and dirt.
To clean the rattan, simply wipe it down with a damp (not wet) cloth dipped in a solution of warm water and mild dish soap. Do not over wet the rattan and do not use harsh chemicals or abrasives. Make sure it can dry quickly.
If something is spilled on it, clean it straight away. Colours from the spill can be absorbed into the natural material so don't leave it.
As a handwoven item, if you notice any rattan canes or poles that have become unwoven, simply slip them back into their original position by hand.
Woven rattan is a strong material and is built to last - but like all handmade pieces, it has limits. Avoid overloading with excessive weight to maintain its form, beauty and structural integrity.

Some variations in the canes used in the weaving are to be expected as it is a natural material. These are not considered imperfections but are inherent to the character of a natural handwoven product.
