Deliveries drop into the upper compartment and flowers grow in the lower one, a combination that keeps parcels off the porch floor without adding another plain container by the door. Solid acacia wood forms the 23-in x 21-in x 28-in body, and the planter section measures 19-in x 8.5-in x 6-in for herbs or seasonal color. A pneumatic rod supports the lid, so it lifts with one hand and holds open while you unload groceries. Load ratings are 165 lbs on the roof top, 110 lbs inside the storage cabinet, and 66 lbs in the planter. Acacia weathers to a silvered tone outdoors unless it is oiled; either way the 27-lb frame holds its shape through wet weather. It also works as a cushion chest beside a bench.
