The Madura Seagrass Wooden Storage Bench features a sustainably grown mahogany frame wrapped in hand-woven seagrass, available at Sideboards and Things with free shipping.

Where does a seagrass storage bench work best?
Position this bench in a bedroom for extra linens and a place to sit while dressing, or use it in an entryway to corral shoes and bags out of sight. The 18.5-inch seat height is comfortable for pulling on footwear, and the woven texture pairs well with jute rugs, rattan baskets, and natural-fiber accents in bedroom benches or storage furniture collections. The 20-inch depth keeps the footprint narrow, making it a smart choice for tight hallways or under windows where a full dresser would overwhelm the space.How is seagrass different from other woven materials?
Seagrass is harvested from coastal marshes, dried, and twisted into durable strands that resist moisture better than paper rush or water hyacinth. The naturally brown hue deepens slightly over time, and the texture stays smooth to the touch while offering visual warmth. On this bench, the seagrass wraps the entire frame, concealing the mahogany structure and giving the piece a seamless, all-natural appearance that complements green plants, linen upholstery, and reclaimed-wood coffee tables in eco-conscious interiors.Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the inside dimensions of the storage compartment?
- The manufacturer does not publish interior measurements, but the lid opens fully to reveal a spacious compartment suitable for folded blankets, pillows, or several pairs of shoes.
- Is the seagrass finish sealed or lacquered?
- The seagrass is left natural without a lacquer topcoat, allowing the fibers to breathe and maintain their organic texture.
- Can the bench support an adult sitting on the lid?
- Yes, the mahogany frame and four wooden legs are designed to support seated weight, making it functional as both storage and a perch.
- Does the lid stay open on its own or does it need to be held?
- The lid lifts off or hinges open -- consult the assembly instructions or product packaging for hinge details, as the listing does not specify a stay mechanism.
- How is the bench shipped and is assembly required?
- Standard curbside delivery to the continental USA is free; white-glove delivery, in-room placement, packaging removal, and assembly are available upon request for an additional fee.
- Will the brown color match teak or walnut furniture?
- The natural seagrass brown is warmer and lighter than walnut and cooler than golden teak, falling somewhere between honey oak and driftwood gray, making it versatile across mid-tone wood palettes.
