Could you turn it into a coffee table? With a small piece of glass on top?
Storage! Use as a recycle bin, toy box, gift wrap center with smaller bins inside for gift bags, tape, scissors, ribbon..., blanket storage, fabric/craft supply storage, memory box for school photos, favorite school projects, yearbooks, concert tickets/programs, trophies/ribbons..., store seasonal decor, dress-up box for a little girl (hats, boas, tiara, gloves, costume jewelry, lip gloss), a treasure box for grandchildren with crafts, toys... Hope this is helpful.
Thank you for the responses as I used both - a patio coffee table with storage inside for throws, outdoor cushions, etc. I painted it this morning with Behr weatherproof stain in Sagebrush Green. It turned out great! Of course it rained this afternoon but looks like the product did as it said with the weatherproofing. After it’s good & dry I’ll give it another coat for an added layer of protection as it will be exposed to the elements.
Your wicker trunk can be painted and you can add a stencil to decorate it in your own style.
