We love this trunk!!  The wooden part of the trunk came assembled; I only had to add the legs which was incredibly easy with just a screwdriver to tighten the screws.  The lid stays open when opened fully.  So far, it doesn’t bang shut.  The trunk sits at the foot of our bed.  My husband loves real wood and simple designs, and he. loves. this. trunk!  He talks about how much he likes the look of it more than I’ve ever heard him talk about furniture.  

In case it matters, just know that there are two round 1-inch holes in the base of the trunk (very near the back and towards both sides).  To prevent any moths or other tiny critters from potentially getting inside, I just lay tissue paper on the bottom to cover the holes and then lay my blankets on top.

I highly recommend this trunk.
