Aldi Has an Under $20 Woven Storage Trunk That's Identical to Pottery Barn's $79 One

One of the best shopping hacks to save money is shopping "dupes" from the rotating weekly Aldi Finds section. This week brings a woven storage trunk that looks identical to the version offered by many upscale furniture stores, such as Pottery Barn — but is marked over $50 lower. See how it compares to the pricier versions from other stores. 

Price: $19.99 

Aldi's storage trunk is hand-woven from natural water hyacinth and offers a collapsible design for convenient storage when not in use. Water hyacinth is one of the fastest-growing plants, making it ecologically sustainable for use in woven products. It measures 22 inches long, 14 inches wide, and 13 inches tall.

Price: $79

Pottery Barn's storage trunk features a metal frame rather than a collapsible style but is woven with the same type of water hyacinth fibers. It's about an inch bigger on every side and has a maximum weight capacity of 22 pounds.

Price: $39.99 

Ikea's similar-but-not-quite-dupe option is a basket woven from rattan that measures in at a smaller 20 inches by 17 inches by 7 1/2 inches. It's lined with fabric and has a handle that gives it a suitcase-style rather than trunk-style. 

If you've been longing for an elegant woven trunk to elevate your storage solutions, then you'll want to make sure you grab one from Aldi on Wednesday, Oct. 9, to save the most money shopping. Don't wait to grab the furniture in Aldi Finds because they often fly off the shelves and sell out quickly.
