I needed a decorative trunk to store some items I use for my dining room, and ordered this trunk based on previous reviews, size, and price. It arrived promptly in excellent condition. The trunk is very lightweight and easy to lift, but the lid seems solid and sturdy. I probably wouldn't stand on it, but if something heavy were placed on top, the lid seems solid enough to withstand the weight. The detail is lovely and looks as pictured. So far, I love this trunk and it is a great addition to my furnishings and decor.
