A deployable storage assembly (10) having a mounting portion (12) and at least one base (14) hinged to the mounting portion (12) for deploying between an open position for storage and a closed position. At least one frame arrangement (22) is connected to the mounting portion (12) to allow the base (14) to rotate to the open position and hold the base (14) when opened to provide a storage compartment. The frame arrangement (22) provides the sides and front of the storage compartment, while the mounting portion (12) fixed to the vehicle provides the rear surface and the base (14) provides the bottom surface. A retaining device (26) coupled to the frame arrangement (22) and base (14) contains items within the storage compartment. At least one fastener (28) is connected to the mounting portion (12) for selectively holding the at least one base (14) in a closed/stowed position. Undoing the at least one fastener (28) allows the base (14) to fold down to the open position providing storage space.
