With this large, old-fashioned luggage case comes lots of charm and history. There are, of course, knocks and scuffs from its days of journeying but it’s solid and sturdy. Although the modern traveller doesn’t use such chests nowadays, they make excellent attractive storage in today’s home, perfect for the easy stowing away of toys, shoes, games and much more. We like these cases repurposed as coffee tables – they’re a good height and overall size for this – and they’re great for stowing underneath beds. A good ‘box’ for organisation and storage that’s way better looking than a plastic IKEA tub.
