We got two wicker trunks which look nice, although not well built (sold by Canadian Tire).<BR/>One tip about your trunk (which looks fabulous, like it should be filled with gold)---you can cut and glue little pieces of wood on the rim in a couple places so it can't close all the way down onto fingers. This would also allow air flow if some child got in and couldn't push the lid back up (heavy? someone sitting on it? you never know, LOL).<BR/>Much nicer than a generic plastic bin!TracyKMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07498896222222982320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-22739347702703327192008-12-09T08:19:00.000-05:002008-12-09T08:19:00.000-05:00The lid does close quickly because it just has nor...The lid does close quickly because it just has normal hinges. It also has a support bracket that keeps it open. I am sure you could add some kind of slow-closing mechanism to this kind of trunk to be kind on little fingers. Your local hardware/home improvement store might be able to suggest something.Rixahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908864785513937876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-75248115033649468222008-12-09T04:20:00.000-05:002008-12-09T04:20:00.000-05:00It looks fantastic!It looks fantastic!Anne ve Bebisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04692441169416369965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-13605792212778440232008-12-09T00:19:00.000-05:002008-12-09T00:19:00.000-05:00That is AWESOME!

And really, the metal and leather parts would eventually rust away and decompose so there's nothnig here that would not eventually disappear.

All the ones I've found seem too sharp and snapping-shut-too-quickly for a kids' room. Did you do anything to modify the hinges, or were they fine?Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12754749628409313759noreply@blogger.com
