Designer Advice:
This trunk is the perfect accompaniment to a bedroom. It would also make a good addition to a playroom. It isn’t overly large but will easily fit all your child’s toys or accessories like trinkets and jewelry if used for a bedroom. Plus, the fact it can lock means your child won’t be able to get inside and wreak havoc when your back is turned.
