Rattan furniture pieces effortlessly infuse any space with beachy vibes, whether you’re transforming your home into a Tulum-inspired getaway or attempting to capture the energy of a Martha’s Vineyard beach house. However, as beautiful as the natural woven material is, it can also be expensive. So I was surprised to see that Aldi is currently selling rattan side console tables for half the cost of other retailers.

To put things into perspective, rattan side tables are currently going for about $100 to $250 at other furniture companies, so Aldi’s competitive price — $49.99 for a woven side console table with extra storage — feels like a steal. The SOHL Furniture console measures almost 26 inches in height, 19 inches in length, and 15.6 inches in width, which makes it a decently sized secret organizer that’s also compact enough for small spaces. 

My favorite thing about this furniture piece is that, unlike a lot of other designs that have an open shelf, the front of the wooden side table is completely covered by a sheet of rattan, which makes it a storage hero for limited-square-footage situations where you want to tuck away all your unsightly clutter. 

It also works for any room in your house. If you get one as a side table next to your couch or by your TV, you can stow away books, tech/cords, your laptop, and even bar glasses or alcohol inside of it. It could be tucked away in the corner of your bathroom to house hair styling products or your home office for your work supplies. As a bonus, the inside shelf is adjustable, so you can fit it to your specific needs or even remove it entirely if you want a taller storage space. 

Luckily, you don’t even need to race to your closest Aldi and hope to find one in stock if you have an Aldi online account. You can easily check to see if your address is eligible (for free!) for the delivery or pickup option. Unfortunately, you might be out of luck if you live really far away from an Aldi or somewhere that Aldi doesn’t operate, but Amazon has a pretty similar Rattan side table that you can order to your home.

The Zaboro Rattan Nightstand is a bit more expensive than the Aldi option at $78.23 — as well as a bit smaller (you’re looking at about 21 inches in height, 11.8 inches in width, and 15.75 inches in length) — but it has similar solid wooden legs and a closable rattan door. The wooden handle also is a nice touch compared to the black curved metal piece on the Aldi one. 

If you’ve been thinking about adding some rattan pieces to your home, one of these budget-friendly tables might be a good option that also doubles as additional storage for your home.
