C&N Footlockers - Large Undergrad Storage Trunk w/Wheels - Made in the USA - Only STEEL Footlocker on Amazon - Durable Chest with Lid Stay - 32 x 18 x 16.5 Inches (Black)

WOW! Just received this trunk today. Ordered it in Kelly Green. Absolutely gorgeous! I'm blown away by the quality of this thing! Legit blown away, people. It has things on it that I didn't even know I wanted. I don't even know where to start. This thing isn't even in the same universe as the trunk I took to college 30+ years ago, yet somehow I find myself wondering if a time machine was used to go back to the 1950s and bring this back from that decade...back when things were really built to last. Or maybe elves in Santa's workshop spent their blood, sweet and tears making it for the best little boys and girls that were heading to the university. Was it dropped off by aliens? I have no idea. It has metal handles..not.cheap plastic. The wheels are quality wheels and so easy to.put on! The inside is fully lined with nice looking birch. The outside is beautiful and has a texturized surface that won't easily show fingerprints or scratches. There's a hinge that keep the top open. Its bigger than other trunks. Heavy duty for sure. I'm so glad I spent a little extra on this trunk. This will not only last my son through college, but will probably last a lifetime. Oh, there's also a lifetime warranty. He could send this trunk to college with his own kids one day. Love the fact that you can put your own padlock on the trunk and there's not some cheap lock on it with a key that will get lost over time. Could not be happier with this trunk. Makes me want to go back to college at age 50!Update after 1st year of college: This trunk held up beautifully. Lots of room for storage. Very easy to move in and out of the dorm despite being full of supplies. Hands down the best purchase I made for his college years.

The quality was as advertised, well built and sturdy. Love the removable wheels feature. Was a huge help getting my son moved into his dorm, and now he has a secure place to store his valuables and it looks great in his dorm. I hope this will be an heirloom that he can pass on to his college kids hopefully quite a few years from now! Highly recommend even though it is one of the more expensive options.

Beautiful and sturdy trunk we expect will last a lifetime. The wheels are very sturdy and super easy to put on and off. We had an initial issue with one of the latches being loose, but called and got immediate help from a real live human (no automated nonsense) and a new latch mailed to us in less than 2 days. Easily replaced the bottom latch with the new one and it works like a charm! We ordered the dark green and my son is super happy that the color is what the website looked like. Very pleased and will be ordering another one for our other child when they go off to school.

Well-built and beautiful color!

This chest is very sturdy, heavy and large. The colors are beautiful. I have the powder blue one and the inside is bare wood. I’m thinking of lining the inside with decorative paper or fabric. I bought it to store my Nana’s knitted items in. A cedar chest was too big for my needs.

The footlocker with wheels is advised due to heavyness!!Great use being full and heavy. Recommended!!!

Why do camps recommend that kids bring footlockers/trunks to camp? I guess it’s convenient for them? I have no idea, but it is a complete nightmare for parents to get these things anywhere . They do not transport easily and do not wheel very well. My daughter went To camp in North Carolina from Texas and we took the trunk on American Airlines. It weighed 75 pounds. Over the weight limit so we had to pay $200 just to get it to camp. when it arrived in North Carolina It was missing a wheel. So then we had to drag it around metal to concrete and asphalt. Then she and I had to carry it Across the camp, upstairs, to the cabin. A complete nightmare! I’m seriously considering just leaving that dumb trunk there. I don’t even want that thing in my house. I will never ever use it again! Do not buy this thing.

I was concerned about the wheels, and upon delivery they are far sturdier than I anticipated.This is exceptional quality and design. I've had several foot lockers over the years. This one was for my son going off to college / military, and I wanted something extra sturdy. This was double the cost of the competition but well worth it. Everything about it is superior.
