About the Kimberley Blanket Box
Last checked
For anyone trying to tidy throws, spare bedding and cushions without adding a hard wooden chest to the room, the Kimberley Blanket Box is a fabric-upholstered storage piece with a lift-up lid and one deep compartment. The brief is storage first. Its soft finish puts it closer to an upholstered bed-end bench than a traditional trunk, so the visual role is as important as the capacity: it is meant to sit at the foot of a bed frame and look like part of the room rather than a utility box. Because the useful space comes from one open cavity rather than drawers or shelves, it suits bulky, compressible bedding better than folded clothes that need separation. An assisted lid is a genuine convenience over basic hinged blanket boxes, but on this construction class the hinge and screw fixing matter more than the fabric; the upholstery can look contemporary while the lid mechanism still carries most of the durability risk. The spec is modest but practical, with no complicated storage layout to waste internal space.
Style-led bedrooms with upholstered divans, fabric bed frames or soft neutral schemes are the strongest fit, especially where the box is being used for spare bedding rather than as a heavy-use everyday seat. Praise clusters around the elegant look, decent-feeling fabric and the amount it holds without appearing bulky, and the easy-lift lid is repeatedly treated as a useful feature when the mechanism behaves as intended. The style signal is calm. The two poorest ratings share the same failure mode: the lift arm or gas strut is described as too forceful for the hinge and screw assembly, with the lid eventually failing to close properly after the fixings pull away from the wood. That is an important contradiction to the easy-lift promise, because the assistance that makes the lid pleasant to open also appears to place stress on the hardware over time. If the aim is an elegant soft-fabric blanket box for occasional bedding and a tidy bed-foot finish, the Kimberley works. If the priority is proven long-term hinge strength under daily lifting, a reinforced ottoman bench from a higher furniture tier makes more sense.

Pleased with this blanket box, the lid lifts easily and it holds loads without looking bulky. The fabric feels decent and it just fits in with the room nicely.
Superb item, truly elegant and practical. Quality fabric and the easy lift lid is exactly as described.
I brought the Kimberley blanket box in October 2021 looks very nice, but the hinges have pulled out and lid does not close, the easy lift arm seams to be to strong and has pull the hinges away from the wood disappointed as it was a lot of money for me to pay out I thought it would last
This blanket box features an easy lift mechanism and high quality fabric. A stylish storage solution that matches our Hopkins and Osaka bedframes.
