Wooden Boxes & Crates

Wooden Storage Boxes and Decorative Crates

The range covers oak-effect storage boxes in graduated sizes, traditional pine and bamboo crates, and decorative wooden trays with cut-out handles. Some are built for utility like tool storage, log boxes and garage organisation, others for display such as cookbook shelves, wine storage and gift hampers. Most have a clean rectangular profile that stacks well and slides neatly under benches and tables.

Wooden crates suit spaces where wicker would feel out of place, from garden offices and workshops to mudrooms, garages and modern industrial interiors. They also handle outdoor storage where moisture and weight are concerns, though solid timber should still be kept under cover during heavy rain to prolong its life.

They are a popular alternative to wicker for DIY gift hampers too, particularly rustic food gifts, wine presentations and Christmas hampers. The natural wood tone pairs well with kraft paper, raffia and twine, and the open structure shows off contents better than a closed basket.

As a rule of thumb, choose wicker for living areas and decorative use, and wood for utility and weight-bearing jobs. Pair our wooden boxes with our garden trugs and tools for outdoor projects, storage trunks where you want a lidded woven alternative, or shallow trays for tabletop organising.
