A hundred gallons, 378 litres, in a chest four feet wide and two feet tall. This is the size that clears a patio: every cushion from a four-seat set goes in at the end of the season and the furniture stays outside.
Assembly is still twenty minutes and one person, but at four feet wide a finished box is awkward to carry through a gate. Do it on the spot.
Four seat cushions and four backs, or the whole cushion set plus an umbrella cover. Getting everything into one place is what stops cushions being left out in October.
At 24 inches tall it is a touch higher than a chair, which makes it a natural end to a bench run and a place to put a tray down.
Store cushions dry. A weatherproof box keeps rain out, but a damp cushion sealed in for three months comes out with mildew — that is a drying problem, not a box problem.
Pieces from other collections in the same finish family — the pairings people order together.
A blue velvet twin with an adjustable double wavy headboard, one footboard drawer and side storage pockets.
A black tower just 19.7 inches wide and 47.2 tall — six drawers for the gap most furniture will not fit into.
The biggest deck box: 120 gallons, 53 inches wide, deep enough for a rolled pool cover as well as the cushions.
Eight by ten feet and about 515 cubic feet: the shed size that takes a mower, bikes and the garden tools without stacking them.
