Saw this on Price Hipster and had been looking for a better storage box for bats and balls and pool stuff in the barbie area - and something that looked better than the black plastic storage container.

This also provides seating for three not too large people. (Total 200kg) It is a solid sucker so you might need help lifting it. Also watch the lid falling on kids' fingers. (I am getting a gas strut)
Edit: Just noticed the pic shows a timber strut to hold it open - that is not accurate. It has two webbing straps - no strut.

Bunnings blurb:
The Mimosa timber storage box is the perfect addition to any outdoor entertaining space. Built with durability for both ultimate functionality and style, this storage box is ideal for storing all sorts of items around the yard.

I grabbed one at Bunnings Burleigh in QLD yesterday when there were 9 in stock. Went back for another today and when I left there were three left, so check stock. I think it is only at the larger stores.

    Looks to be to match Aldi. We have the Aldi version and the quality isn’t too flash.

      From the Aldi pic they look very similar down to the fake "tar" between the slats on top - except the Aldi one has wheels.

      • dufflover on 02/12/2017 - 23:57

        We saw the Aldi one just on a casual browse through and it looked pretty tacky (imo) cos of that "tar" top filling.

    • pinkybrain on 02/12/2017 - 20:10

      more easier to move

      • King Steuart on 03/12/2017 - 06:50

        I wouldn't recommend moving it if it's full of stuff and on a deck you don't want to get destroyed

    bought one of these for my brother a couple years back and they are smaller than pictured.
    But a great storage box nonetheless!
    his has been out in SE-QLD weather all this time and still looks new with the wood with no imperfections such a bowing or splintering.
    At this price I'm going to buy one for myself.

    • cumova on 02/12/2017 - 20:15

      Is it flat packed and you assemble yourself?

      • ozy on 02/12/2017 - 20:17

        yes flat packed

    This also provides seating for three not too large people. (Total 200kg)

    So it's not suitable for Ozbargainers then?

    Vents perfect for spiders to get in and out? Also will timber attract termites?

    • asa79 on 02/12/2017 - 21:06

      Only attracts termites if you already have termites where you place it. Tho this is made from FSC® Certified Eucalyptus Hardwood so would like to see termites go for that

      • wtfnodeal on 03/12/2017 - 00:14

        Termites go for everything including concrete that's what I heard. But it's favourite is of course timber.

        • asa79 on 03/12/2017 - 02:10

          So you have concrete and hardwood eating termites at your place?

          @asa79:

          Termites love hardwood.

          And a lot of Australian native trees which they like are hardwood.

          It's a myth they won't eat or attract them.

    • BargainBender on 02/12/2017 - 23:32

        We got given to basic outdoor chairs; not too long later yep redback or two found in the gap where the woven seat and seatback are secured. I've never intended to sit on it and that just validated it for me.

    If the crushing of kids fingers was a concern you could probably stick a piece of foam or two on it to stop the lid closing the last 10mm.

    This is disappearing fast from Bunnings stores. All around me in northern suburbs of Melb they are down to one or three per store, which means sorry, none left by the time you get to the store to pick one up :(

    This will be a breeding ground for lizards, spiders and cockroaches if put outside due to the open slat design. I would advise to pickup a Cyclone Insect screen at the same time and glue/tack it inside. https://www.bunnings.com.au/cyclone-1220mm-x-2-05m-fibreglas…

    "@asa79:Termites love hardwood.And a lot of Australian native trees which they like are hardwood.It's a myth they won't eat or attract them."
    Sort of..they prefer the lovely soft plantation Pine that so many house frames were/are made of,and they're not as attracted to Australian hardwood and (for example)actually don't like Australian Cyprus.

    • Scab on 03/12/2017 - 13:44

      There's actually a species that only eats hardwood: https://goo.gl/vtnEKk

      And hardwood usually becomes termite resistant with age, the ones used for building aren't as old as natural growth.

    Malaga apparently had a few also. None at Belmont.

  • Public21 on 05/12/2017 - 11:04

    On the Aldi version I had a look while I was there yesterday. I think it might be a lot lighter version.

    While they look similar, the pic on the Aldi carton shows the fixings on the front while the Bunnings version is on the ends. The timber in the Bunnings version looks thicker, just going on the pics on the Aldi version.
