Potato Bin – Maple Stained

I designed this Maple Stain Potato bin to be a little bit narrower for folks with limited space who need something more compact. But don’t worry, even though it’s smaller, it can still fit a good amount of potatoes—like a full 20 lb. bag!

I built this potato bin using high-quality pine and gave it a beautiful maple-colored stain. I also updated the engraving on the front to say “Potatoes” instead of “Potatoes & Onions.” Since I only use my potato bin for potatoes, I figured others might enjoy having a bin specifically for “Potatoes” too.

Measures Approximately 11 1/4″ Wide by 23 1/2″ Tall x 8 3/4″ Deep (front to back).

The Features of this Potato Bin

Besides its compact footprint, this potato bin is designed with both function and charm in mind. The maple stain brings out the natural beauty of the pine grain, giving it a warm, rustic look that fits beautifully in kitchens, pantries, cabins, and homestead-style spaces. Each bin is handcrafted, which means every piece has its own unique character—no two are exactly alike.

The ventilation gaps are intentionally placed to allow proper airflow, helping your potatoes stay fresher for longer. Good airflow is essential for preventing moisture buildup, which can lead to sprouting or spoilage. This bin provides a simple, natural storage solution that looks great while also serving a practical purpose. It doesn’t matter if you cook daily or only occasionally. Having a dedicated potato bin keeps your kitchen tidy. It ensures your produce is stored as it was meant to be.

Advantages of Storing Potatoes in a Potato Bin Like Grandma Used To

  • Provides natural airflow to reduce moisture and prevent rot
  • Keeps potatoes organized and off countertops
  • Adds a nostalgic, homestead-style charm to your kitchen
