Household Essentials Large Wooden Storage Trunk, Weathered Wood with Paint Finish, Hinged Lid with Metal Accents

I was looking for a lightweight, attractive storage trunk or box for blankets. This product absolutely fits my needs. It is well made, it is attractive and it holds a LOT of blankets. It is not a piece of furniture, so if you are looking for a cedar chest or trunk you are going to have to look at furniture, and pay a bit more for the item. For the price, this piece is a real steal. I am so glad I followed my instincts, many of the other reviews were critical of the durability and quality. I am well pleased. This was exactly what I needed and what I was looking for.

Perfect size (large). Can be used as a side table, storage etc. I love it :)

I really like the design concept of this chest. No assembly necessary; it comes as it appears in the product listing. The combination of rich wood grain, juxtaposed with the industrial edge of the galvalume, merges the aesthetic of two worlds quite nicely. It's sturdy enough to secure about 100 or so lbs of various items. However, I wouldn't load it like a Hope Chest, with the way the primary structural materials are composed. Rather than adding the galvalume as an accent sheathing, they fashioned the wooden framework of the of the chest, and used the galvalume to cap/close the 4 side planes, INSTEAD of wood panels. I can't quite tell how the sheets are mounted/fastened, but I'm being mindful of how much weight is resting against them from within. It feels like a big price tag for a chest that has this lack of structural integrity. Everything feels assembled securely, though; as I was able to lift and carry this chest to it's current position in my living space, without causing the unit to flex or collapse anywhere. Lots of space for storage within, and it looks AMAZING. Overall, I'm quite happy with the product itself, even if it seems a bit expensive for how it's designed, structurally.

Yes it clicks as you open but it'll stay open. Light very nice. Might remove the rope and add nicer handles. Do recommend. True to size. No assembly.

If you want to live your life in your living room avoid this chest. We had it for nearly a month when our son went to get a blanket and the lid cracked and fractured when he closed it. He didn't force it. He didn't apply pressure to it. He simply closd the lid and it cracked. OK, things like that happen. It's a display of shoddy workmanship, but it happens. I love the trunk, though, so I contacted the company to see if I could purchase a replacement lid to install myself. No, they don't do that. They receive it from the manufacturer and simply sell the piece. OK, no problem there. Happens all the time. Can I order one directly from the manufacturer? No, sorry. So now I have a broken lid (too broken to effectively repair and definitely noticeable), can't get a replacement and am past the return deadline. And out the money. Bottom line, if you live a normal life DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!! If you live in a museum and never touch or use anything you own you should be just fine.

I spent hours trying to find a box by the door we can throw shoes in. Tried one but so flimsy it broke getting it out of the package. Here is the just of the box... Pros...does look decent, sturdier than others I have tried, after I removed the bar hinge that allowed it to open at different heights-see below, it worked great. Overall, I am pleased and would buy another one. Cons...not so sturdy you could throw in tools, drills, etc. etc. Works great for clothing, small toys, shoes etc. The stress hinge that is supposed to allow the lid to open at different heights is worthless. It has a terrible popping sound, and does not work for 'half open' anyway. I did find however, if I removed the side hinge...easily done, the top opened great...really, it works better without the side hinge. Sooo much better than the vinly covered storage boxes that I bought from Amazon Two month update. The box is still working great by the door for shoe storage. As mentioned earlier, the side hinge made a terrible popping sound...but easily removed, back hinges work great. Would recommend for light to moderate storage needs. Have tried all types of vinyl storage boxes....the wooden easy to open and shut wins by far. I would buy another down the road if needed. Worth the money for storage that people will see in open areas.

The trunk itself is very nice, it's well made, it's all that I had hoped for.

Nice lightweight trunk. It has a somewhat vintage look, which adds to the charm. My top has an ever so slight shift in but it's up on top of my chest dresser so no one will ever view this. I put a bit of stain (I always have some) on mine, including the metal portion, and it looks great. I would buy this again.

This is the perfect item for what I wanted. We redid our daughters room in a Moana theme and wanted a treasure chest. one that she could use for keepsake items when she gets a little bigger (she is 5). The chest is exactly as described! it makes a cool three click sound as you crank open the lid which she loves. It is made with strong hardware that only allows the lid to open straight up so it doesn't fall backwards once lifted. It smells absolutely amazing since it's real wood. Very lightweight!

This Wooden trunk looks great with the decor of our cottage. We store our chopped wood in it for our fireplace. My husband made a wood piece to sit on the bottom. It is very durable and perfect in every way. I would recommend this trunk.

J'ai acheté ce coffret pour compléter mon ensemble de chambre à coucher. Il est parfait au pied de mon lit et peut contenir environ 6 ensembles de draps ou 3 grosses couvertures. Pour le prix, je suis vraiment satisfaite!

Loved the detail.. perfect size! Well made product.. reminds me of Sweden
