A storage chest is basically a large rectangular box with a lid designed to provide storage and organize the home.

Generally larger than traditional luggage, storage chests are also available in smaller sizes like footlockers and larger ones such as steamers.

More commonly used for storage than transportation, these accent furnishings can actually add to your décor with elegance and style in addition to being practical and functional.

Most storage chests are sturdily made and are guaranteed to last. They also make great focal points around your home, no matter where they are placed. From bedrooms and dens to living rooms, decorative lidded chests can produce an everlasting, luxurious look that compliments your design motif.

Storage chests come in all sorts of shapes, designs, materials and styles. Some of them are even made to be used as actual functional furniture. Such types of benches can be padded on top to make sitting more comfortable while the interior is arranged in a way that allows for easy organization and storage. Some bench style chests are made to serve the purpose of a coffee table and become the center of the room in which they are placed. Chests are also very popular for use in college dorms where space is limited and every inch counts.

Whereas storage trunks were typically designed for travel, being made of solid materials to protect the contents, storage chests are more decorative and less rugged. They are not really meant for moving about, just for storage solutions.
