Household Essentials Vintage Metal Storage Trunk, Rustic Silver, X-Large

Well made. Perfect for pet food storage and a great place to feed the cats while keeping cat food elevated and away from where our rabbit can reach. Fast shipping and rustic looking. This chest really ties our DIY cat wall elements together. The most impressive thing is the non-skid rubber feet. We have a tile floor and this trunk is the only piece of furniture that doesn’t slide or ‘wander’ on our tile floor. It stays securely where it should be. I also love the lid mechanism. It prevents the lid from slamming down but is super easy to open and close.

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.

Just received the chest and was so disappointed when I removed it from the box. There is a large crack on the top and when I opened the lid, there was more damage. I do not understand why it was boxed in that condition...it is being returned and it’s such a shame. This was my second purchase of the chest. It looks great and blends easily with my decorations and color scheme. If not for the damage, it would have been a perfect match. The wood material is less than a 1/4” thick on the top however; the bracing under the lid was damaged. It may have survived whatever was placed on it, if not for that. Value for money - 1 star. I had no issues with the cost of an undamaged chest which is why I purchased the second chest. I do have issues when I make a purchase and the item is damaged. That is when the value for the money decreases. As stated, the wood is thin however; I love the rustic look of the metal attached to the wood. Based on the damage, I can’t say it’s sturdy.

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.

I was really hesitant on buying this trunk because of the reviews of the trunks being broke when they received them and they weren’t sturdy at all. Well I really liked the look and style so I took a chance and bought 2 of them, and I’m so happy I did, they arrived in perfect condition, the reason I gave 4 stars was because the color looks nothing like the pictures, one is black with very little brown and the other is black and brown with green tint ish color, i wished they would have looked like the picture it would have gone better with my decor. But I like them so much I’m gonna work with them the way they are. I do highly recommend this trunk vey unique looking, and good storage.
