Household Essentials Antiqued Decorative Trunk, Large, Chinese Fir Panel and MDF, Smooth Backing and Metal Hinge Accent, Flat Top and Stay-Open Lid

Mediums size trunk purchased in the warehouse. Trunk came ALMOST fully assembled. Due to defect, the side and lid were not attached. If you buy a full price, I’m not sure if this trunk is fully assembled. I am giving 5 stars because of the price and look. I purchased in the warehouse for a steal, but the trunk had issues: -The top was not attached, but had been -the side was also not attached, but had been I nailed the side and top (I need more nails for the side) I read the reviews prior to purchase: THE NOISE, is a bracket that holds the lid in place so it doesn’t slam down. When you open or close it clicks, that’s it. THE WOOD, is authentic so there will be some flaws, that’s what makes it nice THE SMELL, mine did not have a smell. I do believe it was put together poorly, and you may need to reinforce with common household nails. OVERALL, descent size trunk with aged look, value for the money if you can get in the warehouse. *I use the trunk for storage of my supplies and staging pics on top. The little things pic on trunk are florals and mine so please disregard*

Arrived intact!

Looks super cool and trendy! The hinges work great. It's a really solid piece especially compared to the particle board many things are made of these days. I can't give 5 stars because it's 100% brown. There's absolutely no red tone to it in any lighting. Also, I feel it's priced a bit high.

The wood is thin, so the chest is lightweight. It is pretty sturdy, have it stocked full of blankets. The color is as advertized. Unfortunately It did not come with a lock. It is worth what we paid for it though. I would bye another one if needed.

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.

Darling wood crate. Couldn’t beat price! Using for winter accessories

VERY CUTE BOX, I'M USING MINE AS A BABYSHOWER GIFT BOX TO FILL UP AND THEN IT CAN BE USED AS A SMALL TOY BOX OR JUST A STORAGE BOX. THERE IS FLAWS IN THE WOOD BUT THAT IS TO BE EXPECTED WITH REAL WOOD. I LOVE IT
