We purchased this trunk as a storage coffee table for our downtown condo, and it does the trick.  It is functional and has a great deal of storage space.  It is also quite functional as a coffee table.  The trunk looks a lot more expensive than it is, which is always a plus.  Easy cleanup with Murphy's Oil Soap wipes keeps it looking new.  I would definitely recommend this product, and am considering buying a second for storage in my home.
