Ligneus Rustic Cushion Seat Crate: Review
I ran a competition with the fantastic Ligneus last month and while it was running they were kind enough to offer me a product of my choice to review.
Now, I completely admit it took me a while to whittle down the choices.
I mean you’ve seen their website right?
After a chat with the Oracle that is Ash, we went for one of their rustic cushion seat crates.
Ligneus Rustic Cushion Seat Crate.
With a crate bottom and a cushioned lid, the Ligneus Rustic Cushion Seat Crate is going to be the perfect addition to any home.
Offering a mix of storage and a seat, this really helps you make the most of space.
Ligneus offer a range of items, similar to this piece. However, this one, in particular, comes in at 525x325x320. There is also a size larger on offer, one which has a dropped front, or even one which offers double storage.
For us though this smaller sized offering seemed the perfect fit for our home.
The seat crate is designed to be able to be moved around the home, so it is worth noting that you can get a version which has wheels.
Ash, however, decided I would probably cause a disaster if ours had wheels and so we went wheel less.
The Perfect Home Addition.
Personally and I think Ash would agree for us this has been a great addition.
Our lounge is very small and we only have one spare seat (which is really Sally’s). And we all know how likely my dog is to share with anyone.
So from the moment, it came into the home it became a real bonus to us.
What’s more, Ash has been collecting some comics and this slips in perfectly by his table. So it’s normal job is keeping his comics safe and close to hand, while it’s double superhero life is acting as a seat.
Well Made and Ready to Work for You.
I have to admit I wasn’t sure what to expect from the crate. Would it just hold a child’s weight? Would it be better utilised as a footstool than a seat?
Now I’m not going to say I would sit on it all day every day. However, I’ve sat on this a number of times to be close to Sal while she eats and I am definitely carrying some weight, but I have felt comfortable and safe each time.
The cushion itself is soft and is attached to a wooden lid, which perfectly fits on top of the crate. It has been given enough padding to really feel comfortable to sit on, while still supportive.
When it comes to quality, it really seems to be well made. I haven’t found any splinters or wood, it feels like a solid quality piece too me.
It may be worth noting that these crates are sized to fit onto of the Gastronorm Crates and the Mobile Rustic Cushion Seat Crate (both painted and natural). Making this part of a modular product which can be used alone, or with other items to make it work perfectly for your home.
If you don’t love the look of my cushion, never fear! Ligneus offer a huge choice of fabric. From maps to dogs and seaside huts to flowers, meaning there really should be something to fit your decor.
Rustic Cushion Seat Crate.
If you are thinking of buying a Rustic Cushion Seat Crate this size comes in at £60. It is worth noting, it takes around a week to a fortnight to reach you as they are made to order. So if you need one for a specific occasion please do order in advance.
You can buy the Rustic Cushion Seat Crate over at the Ligneus website, along with so many other fantastic items and designs!
What do you think of this item, is it something you would love to have in your home?

Is there anything you can’t make with a crate? I need to get a project list together!
It is amazing isn’t it – they are so versatile!
I love the rustic look, also love the extra storage that it gives
I love the idea of having more hidden storage in the house, so the idea of a storage that we can sit on is awesome to me. The design of the cushion is really lovely! ~ Ola @ WanderWithOla
It is great isn’t it! It’s nice to be able to use things for multiple things.
I love these kind of dual purpose products in the house – I would certainly use it to keep my daughter’s toys in 🙂
They are great aren’t they – definitely a good idea for something like that!
While this crate really isn’t my style I can see how useful it is! I need to show this to my little sister!
Hey if we all liked the same things it would be a boring world.
This is so cute. I love the rustic look. I also think it would look like an understated beach look, too.
It is really nice isn’t it – I love how they have put it together and it could be part of a modular set.
I love this so much! The fabric of this is so cute, I love the rustic feel to this too! Having the storage in it is great too.
There’s something about the rustic style that always jumps out at me.
Well this one is new to my eye. kind of weird and odd to be honest but it gets attention. as long as it is comfy to sit on, were good though
It’s just a crate with a cushion it, really simple design to be honest.
Looks great – such a fun way to upgrade a crate.
It’s such a good idea, I love you can buy other modular items for it too.
I like that the seat crate looks beautiful as a home decor and it’s also functional. I’d rather use it as a foot stool though.
It would definitely work as a footstool, I think on the whole that’s what it will be with the occasional use as a seat.
I love the idea of the seat crate! And it gets a major double thumbs up from me because of its storage capabilities.
It is fantastic isn’t it! I love that they have bought two things together.
Oh I am in love with this! I always need more storage and extra seating is always a plus so might have to get this for my house.
It is such a lovely thing – if we ever move I think I might have to get some of the other modular pieces.
This is really cute project. Storage and seating. This is a win win for sure
It is lovely isn’t it – I love you can get so many different designs for the seat too.
I absolutely love this! We always struggle for seating space in our living room, and I love the design of this.
It is such a neat idea isn’t it – something really different to have around the home.
I love multipurpose furniture like this! It would be such a great thing to have if you have a small space. 🙂
It is fab, isn’t it! A really great addition to our small space.
I am a fan! I tend to love anything that can help with storage. I like my stuff and have a lot of it, so I’m always looking for places to store it 😉 This would look cool in my house.
I am the same – I collect way to much and we have like zero storage so every little helps.
That’s such an adorable piece. Especially for a rustic look since it’s so unique!
It is lovely isn’t it – I can imagine it working in all sorts of homes as well as you can check the seat covering.
I love how rustic it is and can definitely be a good addition in the home, is it bad that I would get a cooler that would fit in and fill it with beer?
No not at all, that sounds like an awesome idea to me! LOL.
Now this is a great idea and I love the rustic look! I would definitely be hiding all my books in here that I need to get on and read x
Haha it’s perfect for putting books in and then putting your feet up on while you read.
Oooh I like that! I’ve been thinking of redoing one of my rooms and would love to add this to the room!
It is so nice isn’t it – definitely recommended for any room!
Thanks for sharing your review. This would be perfect for my home. Love the print of the cushion fabric.
It is lovely isn’t it – though I have to admit I found it hard to pick one as they are all lovely.
I absolutely adore anything that doubles as storage that I can furnish my home with. This item is a winner in my book.
It is great isn’t it – such a wonderful idea.
I love a seat like that which doubles as storage. We have a lot of things in our living room and a seat like that could help with the clutter
It is great for helping with the clutter 🙂
Friggin creative! My husband and I need to do this to a few of our furniture pieces to JAZZ THEM UP and make them look classy!
They are amazing aren’t they – such a lovely idea of something to have around the home.
That sounds very cute. I kind a like the rustic look something like this would fit in perfectly at my house.
I have to admit I love the rustic look as well – its a vibe.
