Description
The Gloster Storage Chest is a generous outdoor cushion and accessory box crafted entirely from natural finish teak, designed to keep seat pads, throws and garden essentials neatly stored and protected. Its clean, rectangular form, slatted construction and softly rounded edges make it a practical companion piece that sits comfortably alongside classic and contemporary teak seating.
Key Features
- Natural Teak Frame & Top: Built from solid, natural finish teak with a slatted body and lid, offering a warm, durable storage solution that coordinates with Gloster’s teak collections.
- Lockable, Gas-Strut Assisted Lid: The lid is gas‑strut assisted for smooth opening and soft closing and can be locked to help secure the contents when not in use.
- Removable Sling Base Shelf: An internal sling base shelf supports cushions while allowing moisture to drain away, helping to reduce the risk of mildew and keep items aired.
- Spacious Interior: Internal dimensions of approximately 135 cm width, 71 cm depth and 67.5 cm height provide ample room for multiple seat and back cushions or outdoor accessories.
Materials & Construction
Teak Exterior
Natural Finish Teak: The frame and lid are made from plantation-grown teak with a natural finish that will gradually weather from golden brown to a silver‑grey patina when left outdoors, while retaining strength and stability.
Slatted Design: Closely spaced teak slats on the sides and lid provide strength and allow a degree of ventilation inside the chest, helping stored textiles to dry out between uses.
Interior Details
Sling Base Shelf: The removable sling base shelf supports cushions above the teak floor, so any incidental moisture can drain away underneath rather than soaking into fabrics.
Gas Strut Hardware: Integrated gas struts balance the weight of the teak lid, making it easier to lift and preventing it from slamming shut, which protects both the frame and stored items.
Usage & Care
Ideal Applications
Cushion & Accessory Storage: Sized for storing lounge and dining cushions, blankets and outdoor accessories close to where they are used, keeping terraces and pool decks uncluttered.
Design Pairing: The classic teak aesthetic works with traditional benches and loungers as well as more modern modular seating, making it a flexible storage piece across different Gloster groups.
Care Guidance
Teak Cleaning: Clean the teak exterior periodically with water and a mild detergent or a dedicated teak cleaner; allow the chest to dry fully with the lid open after heavy rain before closing.
Weathering & Protection: Teak can be left to weather naturally or treated with teak care products if you wish to slow the greying process; a protective cover can be used to reduce dirt build‑up when the chest is not in regular use.
