West Elm’s Sleek 2-in-1 Storage Trunk Is Replacing Clunky Patio Cabinets – and Maybe Even Your Coffee Table

Charming outdoor patio area featuring an antiqued wooden dining set with parasol and bench alongside a grassy lawn.

No one can afford to mess around in a small backyard – every square inch is precious. If a piece doesn’t solve at least two problems at once, it’s probably taking up too much space. That’s exactly why one of the easiest ways to give a patio a facelift is to consolidate with hardworking outdoor storage.

Offering 45”w x 20”d x 16”h of storage in the smaller 46” style, and 60”w x 26”d x 22”h in the larger 60”, West Elm’s sleek-lined Portside Outdoor Storage Trunk has enough storage to replace an outdoor cabinet altogether, with the bonus of looking like a genuinely chic coffee table once the lid is closed. A forever piece, if I’ve ever seen one.
