About the Item
This Indian "Pitara" Style Storage bench originally was a large Indian storage rectangular box. It was modified to serve as a bench with storage. This style is known as "pitara", which translates to box. The unique feature of a "Pitara" bench is its discreet storage capability. This storage is usually integrated under the seat or within compartments that blend seamlessly with the bench's overall design. The storage space is spacious enough to hold various items while maintaining a tidy appearance. Beyond storage, these benches are functional as seating in various settings such as living rooms, bedrooms, or entryways. They provide both aesthetic appeal and practicality, serving as seating and storage solutions simultaneously. The green cushion has been added in Chicago.
