Why Teak for Outdoor Storage?
Teak is the gold standard for outdoor furniture, and that extends to storage. Anderson Teak uses Grade A plantation-grown teak in every piece — the same dense, oil-rich hardwood used in yacht decking and heritage garden furniture. It resists rot, repels insects naturally, and weathers gracefully to a silver-gray patina without any treatment.
For outdoor storage, this means your cushions, pool towels, gardening tools, and accessories stay protected in a container that looks as good as the furniture around it. No plastic bins, no rusting metal chests — just solid teak craftsmanship.

The Camrose Storage Box Collection
The Camrose is Anderson Teak’s dedicated outdoor storage box, available in two sizes. Both feature a clean-lined chest design with a hinged lid, ventilation for air circulation, and the heft to double as additional seating.
Camrose Storage Box — Small
The Camrose Storage Box Small ($1,740) is sized for patios and smaller decks. It holds a full set of chair cushions or pool accessories while keeping your outdoor space tidy. Solid Grade A teak construction with a smooth-action hinged lid.
Camrose Storage Box — Large
The Camrose Storage Box Large ($2,645) offers significantly more capacity for larger furniture sets, multiple cushion sets, or seasonal item storage. Same premium teak construction with proportionally larger dimensions. Ideal for homeowners with extensive outdoor seating arrangements.
Beyond the Camrose: Other Anderson Teak Storage Options
Anderson Teak offers several other storage solutions beyond the Camrose line, each designed for different use cases.
Amberly Cushion Box
The Amberly Cushion Box ($2,835) is purpose-built for cushion storage. Its deeper design accommodates thick outdoor seat and back cushions, keeping them dry and protected between uses. A premium alternative to the Camrose when cushion capacity is the priority.
Amberly Laundry Box
The Amberly Laundry Box ($1,130) serves double duty — use it poolside for towels and swimwear, or in a mudroom for laundry sorting. At $1,130, it is the most affordable Anderson Teak storage piece and a practical addition to any household.
Storage Benches
If you need seating and storage in one piece, Anderson Teak builds two storage bench models:
- Del-Amo Storage Bench ($1,555) — a classic garden bench with a lift-seat compartment underneath
- Vilano Storage Bench ($1,500) — a sleek contemporary design with built-in storage beneath the seat
Both storage benches provide comfortable seating for two adults while keeping garden tools, cushions, or accessories hidden out of sight.
Planter Bench Set
The Anderson Teak Planter Bench ($1,730) combines two benches with three planter boxes in a modular configuration. It is not strictly a storage piece, but it solves the common challenge of organizing plants and seating in tight spaces — perfect for balconies, narrow patios, or garden borders.

Caring for Your Teak Storage Box
- New teak has a warm honey-gold color that naturally weathers to silver-gray over 6–12 months. Both finishes look excellent.
- To maintain the golden tone, apply teak oil or sealer once or twice per year. Clean with mild soap and water before application.
- To let it weather naturally, simply clean periodically with soap and a soft brush to prevent mildew buildup.
- Avoid pressure washers — they can damage the wood grain. A garden hose and brush work better.
- Keep the interior dry between uses by leaving the lid cracked open on sunny days to allow air circulation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Camrose storage box waterproof?
Teak is naturally water-resistant, but the Camrose is not a sealed waterproof container. Light rain will not penetrate, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain may allow some moisture in through the lid seam. For maximum protection, position it under a covered area or use waterproof liners inside for sensitive items.
Can I use the storage box as a seat?
Yes. The Camrose boxes are built with thick teak panels that support sitting. Many customers use them as additional seating around fire pits, dining tables, or pool areas. For dedicated bench-style seating with storage, consider the Del-Amo or Vilano storage benches.
What is Grade A teak?
Grade A teak comes from the heartwood of mature teak trees — the densest, most oil-rich section. It has a uniform golden-brown color, tight grain, and maximum natural resistance to decay, insects, and moisture. Anderson Teak uses exclusively Grade A plantation-grown teak, ensuring sustainability and consistent quality.
