Household Essentials Vintage Metal Storage Trunk, Rustic Silver, 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 use this at the front door for all my kids shoes. Works great. With 5 kids they are constantly getting into it. They are also not so gentle and like to slam the lid closed every time. But it is holding up like new. It’s also cute and goes with my rustic themed decor.

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.

I’m very disappointed in this purchase. I was excited about getting a natural aged tin-looking piece and after unboxing, was sorely disappointed that it is not naturally aged in appearance but rather, nearly black! The galvanized metal sides have been painted and in my opinion, ruined! The charm of the piece has been lost along with the money I paid for this piece. I love the idea of this design, and I am keeping the piece bc it is perfect in size for the need I have and overall, it’s as sturdy as I expected; Not a great quality, but quality that was expected for price. The appearance, however, is a major let down.

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.
