I thought it was going to weigh a ton. It's functional, beautiful, lightweight, manufactured well. I'm a very happy customer and recommend this trunk for purchase. It is gorgeous! I don't know what happened to my deceased mother's trunk, so I bought this trunk and will make memories of my own for years to come, and memories for my girls when I am gone. I'm excited to start filling it. I used to dig in my mom's all the time, just because I could. A big shout out to Wayfair and traditions! Thanks so much. Seriously, Wayfair is like the best company ever!
