From extra seats to secret storage, benches are versatile life-savers. When you choose rattan? You get even more benefits! This is because rattan benches are low-maintenance, easy to keep clean, durable, and usually weatherproof: depending on the model, you can use them both indoors and outdoors.

Plus, because they're much more lightweight than materials like wood, you can move them around more easily, bringing a couple of additional seats to your dining table or rearranging your furniture whenever you feel like it.
To find the right rattan bench for your needs and room, start by deciding how exactly you're going to use it. You can opt for a dining bench if you could do with some extra seats in your kitchen or dining room, a storage bench to keep clutter under control, one to remove your shoes more easily when you get in, or a versatile two-in-one model if you need it for more than one purpose.
Obviously, depending on how you're planning on using it and where you're going to place it, you'll need to keep different things in mind:
for dining benches, don't forget to measure the length and height of your table. If you want to save more space by storing your bench underneath it whenever you're not using it, you must look for a model that's a couple of inches shorter;
if it's going to stay at the bottom of your bed, create a balanced look by finding a model that's a few inches shorter than the length and height of its frame;
with storage benches or additional seats in your living room, decide exactly in what spot you're going to place them so that you can measure that specific area first;
if you're opting for a garden bench, keep in mind that rattan is weather-resistant, but not all cushions are: you can either go cushion-less or choose a model with a water-resistant cover like polyester.
Finally, keep the style of your room in mind: from its palette to the décor, you want your bench to blend in with the rest of your furniture. For example, simpler designs and clean lines in minimalist and contemporary settings, or more ornate ones in particularly decorative styles.
Whether you decide to place it at the bottom of your bed, in your hallway or living room, this classic rattan bench will be an elegant statement thanks to its British Colonial look. As well as a comfy seat with a linen cushion, this model offers plenty of storage by including two spacious drawers.
