The best value in the catalogue, and the reason is structural. Replacing a large woven lid with a metal-framed upholstered panel removes a significant amount of handweaving, which is where the cost sits in this craft. You get the biggest box in the range at the lowest price, plus a soft top that works as a seat or a landing surface.

Where the value shows
Compare it against the fully woven 40 x 30 x 20 cm box at USD 31. The upholstered model is larger in every dimension and less than half the price. If the buyer needs volume and a usable top surface rather than a fully woven lid, this is the correct specification and the saving is real rather than a quality compromise.
Applications
Hotel lobbies and lounges as a storage seat. Bedroom ends and window seats. Retail fitting rooms. Kids' rooms and family spaces where toy storage has to double as furniture. Café and restaurant service areas where a soft top is useful.
Specify the fabric deliberately
The lid fabric comes from a range of durable, heavyweight upholstery materials, from smooth luxurious finishes to textured and patterned designs. For commercial seating choose the heavier textures; for display pieces the smooth finishes photograph better. Body colour is custom finished and also protects the cane against mould and termite damage.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the largest box the cheapest?
Price follows weaving hours, not size. The metal-framed upholstered lid replaces a large handwoven panel, so the piece takes fewer hours to make.
Can it be sat on?
The lid is supported by a metal frame and topped with upholstered fabric, which is what makes it usable as a seat. Confirm the loading you expect at sample stage.
Can we choose the lid fabric?
Yes, from a range of heavyweight upholstery fabrics in smooth, textured and patterned finishes.
What is the minimum order?
50 pieces, which can be combined with other models in one shipment.
Is a fully woven lid available instead?
Yes, as a customisation, and it moves the price toward the fully woven boxes in the range.
