This may be a long review, overall I'm happy with this purchase and the Pros outweigh the Cons. I love having unique pieces in my apartment! I do feel these pieces could be easily damaged if you're not careful putting things in and on top of them.

Pros: Unique, stylish, good storage option, easy to assemble, wood top has nice cedar smell when you open the trunk.

Cons: Metal trunks are lightweight, mine came with some dings and defects which I contacted the manufacturer about (pending response). Top of trunks do not actually latch, it would be better if they did. No internal arm to keep top open or propped, so you have to hold it or position it to lean on something. Wood really is "rustic" meaning it's stained on top but not varnished or finished, underside-inside of top is completely natural.
