Amazon’s £29 garden storage box also doubles as an outdoor bench

A 270-litre garden storage box that also works as an outdoor bench has dropped below £30 with an Amazon voucher, giving households a timely place to stash cushions, tools and toys.

The Olsen & Smith 270L Garden Storage Box and Bench Seat is currently listed for £32.99, down from an RRP of £69.99. That is a £37 saving before an additional voucher reduces the price to £29.69, although shoppers should check and apply the offer where required before completing their order.

That voucher price means the lockable garden storage box costs less than half its stated RRP. It could prove useful during the changeable British summer, when cushions, children’s toys and gardening equipment need somewhere close at hand but protected from sudden showers.

Capacity is one of the main attractions. The 270-litre outdoor storage chest has external dimensions of 109cm wide, 51cm deep and 55cm high, providing a reasonably roomy interior without occupying an enormous patch of patio or decking.

Inside, the available space measures 104.7cm by 49cm by 53.1cm. Olsen & Smith suggests using it for garden cushions, boots, tools, toys, parcels and other outdoor accessories, making it a flexible option for tackling the collection of odds and ends that often accumulates outside.

Rather than serving only as storage, the lid allows the Olsen & Smith garden box to double as a bench seat. It has a stated weight capacity of 100kg, potentially adding a useful extra perch when friends or family visit without requiring room for another permanent piece of garden furniture.

Its compact proportions may also appeal to people working with smaller spaces. The anthracite box could sit on a balcony, terrace or modest patio, where buying separate seating and storage would take up considerably more room.

The plastic construction is described as waterproof, helping to keep the contents dry and organised through the seasons. A lockable design offers another useful feature for items being left outdoors, although buyers may want to check the full listing to see precisely what is supplied.

Amazon customers have awarded the waterproof garden storage bench 4.5 out of five stars from 370 ratings. More than 200 were reportedly bought in the past month, suggesting it has already attracted attention during the summer gardening season.

Smaller 118-litre and 126-litre versions are also listed, but the 270-litre model offers considerably more capacity for only a modest increase over the prices shown for those alternatives. Anyone mainly storing seat pads, outdoor toys or several pairs of shoes may find that extra room useful once the lid is closed.

The £29.69 garden storage box deal could therefore solve two common garden problems at once, concealing outdoor clutter while providing an occasional seat. Its neutral anthracite finish should also be straightforward to pair with many existing patio and garden furniture sets.

Amazon prices, vouchers and availability can change without warning. Buyers should confirm that the voucher has been applied and review the latest delivery information, product specifications and terms before ordering.
