Distressed Coffee Table Trunk on Wheels
Bungalow Rose
What We Like: Sits on four sturdy castors
What We Don’t Like: Style may be hard to blend with other furniture
Not So Good For: Families with small children and active pets
Perfect For: Moroccan, Tuscany, and boho-chic styles
Easy to move around and unique in design, this distressed trunk coffee table sits on four wheels and is hand carved from solid mango wood. It comes with a safety hinge and a latch on the lid to lock important items inside. The outside of the trunk is a distressed white with gold diamonds and light blue accents.
Designer Advice:
It is a skinny coffee table, making it a great match for three-seater sofas or two armchairs with a small table between them. The wheels are handy if you move your furniture around often, though it isn’t the best option if you have young active kids or pets. If you have hardwood floors without an area rug, you’ll want to limit rolling this table to prevent scratches to the floors.

Coffee Table Trunk With Lift and Fold Top
What We Like: Grainy appeal and ease of matching
What We Don’t Like: Fold top lid leaves a natural crack on top
Not So Good For: Use as a flashy focal point
Perfect For: Rustic, traditional, and modern homes
This distressed coffee table chest is hand painted and carved with smooth wood grain and crown molding outlining. It sits on graceful legs to give it a lifted and less heavy feel, holds up to ninety pounds, and exudes a vintage charm.
Designer Advice:
The lift top on this coffee table lays flat instead of standing straight up when opened. Because of this, you can use it as a table to hold a cup of coffee when it’s opened. However, when it is closed, you will have a crack on the top that small crumbs and other items can get trapped in.

Designer Advice:
The green and yellow hues and floral carvings on the front give this coffee table chest a Bohemian flair. If you struggle to blend it in with your home, adding natural green leafy plants will help create a more cohesive room. The latch allows you to lock the chest, though it blocks the gorgeous floral pattern on the front.
