I bought these to store throws in smaller one and sheets, comforters and towels in large one. Smaller one in living room and looks great, larger one in bedroom at footboard.  Tons of storage area in larger one, very big trunk, however screws used for hinges very cheap and 2 have already broken. There is a chain on both ends so lid can still remain open without slamming down on your fingers.  I would expect sturdier hardware considering price.
