The Tew – Small Rattan Under Bench Basket with Cordura Lining

There's a particular kind of order that comes from having the right storage in the right place—muddy boots tucked neatly beneath the hallway bench, dog leads gathered in one spot, wet umbrellas contained before they drip across the floor. The Tew understands the practical demands of cottage entryways and farmhouse bootrooms.

Handwoven from natural rattan with a protective Cordura lining, this under-bench basket is built to withstand the everyday chaos of family life. The durable Cordura—originally developed for military use—protects the delicate rattan from damp boots, muddy paws, and wet weather gear, whilst the low profile design slides neatly beneath hallway benches and bootroom seating. It's the kind of storage that works quietly in the background, keeping the rhythm of a well-kept home.

Durable Cordura lining – Military-grade fabric protects rattan from damp boots, muddy shoes, and wet umbrellas, extending the life of your basket whilst keeping contents dry

Perfect under-bench dimensions – 63cm width x 38cm depth x 25cm height fits neatly beneath hallway benches, bootroom seating, and cottage entryway furniture

Handwoven rattan construction – Natural rattan brings warm texture to hallways and bootrooms whilst providing sturdy, breathable storage for everyday essentials

Low profile design – Shallow height allows basket to slide completely under benches and seating, maximising floor space in narrow hallways and compact bootrooms

Practical rope handles – Sturdy handles make it easy to pull basket out from under benches for quick access to boots, shoes, or stored items

Built for family life – Cordura lining withstands muddy boots, wet dog leads, sports equipment, and everyday wear, making this basket ideal for busy households
