Seward Trunk Rover

Exactly what I wanted

I had one of these from this same company in black already, albeit without wheels. I love the look and that these trunks hold a lot of stuff. They can also double as tables or an extra place to sit. So I decided to get another one for another space. The wheel feature didn't end up being particularly useful for me as I wanted the second one to store props, some of which are breakable so I can't really be picking up the trunk and wheeling it about with that inside. Also, since the wheels have to take up space on the interior for the trunk to still sit flat, you lose a bit of space on that end. Overall though, it's a great trunk!

I purchased the Seward Trunk Rover to continue a tradition in our family. As each of our children graduated from college we purchased a trunk for packing clothes & use as extra storage in their dorm. Well, my three children have all graduated, married, and now, have children of their own. My eldest grandchild just graduated from high school and is headed to college. In the old days we headed to the store for the trunk purchase, today I headed online to make the purchase. I was surprised by how colorful they are now; however, I was pleasantly surprised that they are still sturdy and roomy which is most important. The family tradition continues!!

I purchased one of these Seward 30" trunks during Prime Day for my daughter to use at college for both secured storage and a casual table in her room. When the trunk arrived it was well packaged (wheels protected) in a sturdy cardboard box. I was a little concerned that without another layer of protection (Amazon box) it would have been damaged in shipment, but thankfully that was not the case.The trunk is as pictured. I purchased a blue one for about fifty dollars and had fairly low expectations after pricing others of a similar size. I was surprised at the medium to heavy duty build quality of this trunk. It's not equivalent to one three times the price, but if you want good looking, sturdy, locking storage of this type, it's worth the price you pay for it.WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT:☆ Attractive, traditional design.☆ Handles on top and one side make maneuvering it much easier than others without handles.☆ It has two wheels that assist in transporting the trunk.☆ There are two keys that ship with the trunk for locking and unlocking it.☆The hardware on the trunk is not flimsy.☆The trunk is 'just the right size' to fill up and still be able to allow one person to move it around.☆The exterior matte finish doesn't seem like it will be easily scratched.☆ It's kind of heavy (about 20-25 pounds when empty) - which could be a good or a bad thing I guess?☆The price is right!WHAT COULD BE BETTER:➤ The two wheels are small, fixed, small and do not swivel. They do take up a very small bit of interior space on the trunk. While this design makes a clean look, on some surfaces it's like you don't have wheels on the trunk at all.➤ The single layer of fiberboard used to construct the sides of this trunk appear sturdy, but at points where screws were used, there are bumps inside the trunk which when rubbed upon may expose those screws.CONCLUSION:I like this product very much and I think that if you aren't looking for a tough-as-rhino skin trunk, you'll be pleased too. It's not going to be that item that lasts for 20 years of extended use, but with care it might make it through several years of summer camp or college life. I think it would do best in low-humidity climates as the fiberboard used to construct it may be susceptible to warping.For the price I paid I'm happy and I would recommend it to others.-------------------------11/3/17: I purchased a second one for thirty delivered. A slight scratch on the top upon arrival, but the rest was as expected.--------------------------

I bought this to store cases of nail polish and other large nail appliances (i.e.: uv light) that will not fit in my cosmetics train. I love that it has wheels making it easy to store on its side and more around. It does seem a little flimsy but you get what you pay for. I doubt it will stand up to a ton of weight and movement over a long period of time but if your using it for clothing or stationary storage it will definitely last. I gave it five stars because other trunks went for over $200. I'd expect something solid for that price. For $75, I got exactly what I was expecting which is why I gave it 5 stars. To others reviewing, I don't know what they expected for such a low price but if you do some research, this is pretty good quality for the price it's sold for.

I used this for my college move in, for sophomore year and I wish I bought it last year. I don't feel like the reviews on this really do it justice, but I would like to say that the price is high but through my research it is the best deal. It was perfect for move in, fits in the closet perfectly. It was very difficult for me to find for a descent footlocker/trunk in a decent amount of time. I recommend that you only use if for clothes and you can sit on it to get it closed. I read that a lot of people thought it was cheap, I disagree. The wheels worked perfectly, the handles were nice, the feet were screwed in nicely and the lock actually works. Although it takes a bit of practice to get used to it. Very useful for a quick move in. I'm pretty sure It will last to the end of my college career.

I inspected the construction and was very pleased with the use of durable materials. The addition of casters for mobility are what I noted when searching for this item. I have two other older Seward trunks which are of the same durable quality.

I love everything about it sturdiness, size is a plus . I place my Nike stuff and other keepsakes in it. Just right for my room space. I'm proud of this purchase.
