I think this trunk is very cute and fairly roomy, though I suppose I should have read a little more carefully.  I actually thought I was ordering one with a latch and key, but perhaps that was another one I looked at and ordered this one by mistake. I also hoped that it would be lined with a fabric, but it's my error, I suppose, for assuming.  It's a well made little trunk that will serve the purpose of holding my beloved granddaughter's personal belongings that she left us with 6 months ago.
