Quite limited to one type of storage 

If you're always entertaining but don't love the idea of a drinks trolley on display all the time, then this trunk is the secret weapon you need for your home. With a built-in wine rack for cheese nights and casters for transportation to different parts of your home, this trunk couldn't be more convenient. It is slightly limited to storing things limited to entertaining, so perhaps not ideal for your throws and blankets, but you're sure to impress your guests with this one.

You can even use this trunk for travel thanks to its leather handles and wheels, so if you are constantly jetsetting but want a more put together look than a suitcase at home, this will suit you perfectly.

5. Pottery Barn Ludlow Trunk End Table

Integrate your trunk and table and create a modern look

Reasons to buy

+
A compact option 
+
Base is removable to make it a full trunk

Reasons to avoid

-
Some assembly required

The detailing on this Pottery Barn trunk goes the extra mile to bring an antique feel to your space. It was distressed wood, buckles and locks and either a black or gold finish, adding a luxurious feel. There's so much functionality with this trunk, as it can also double as a side table, but if you just want it for storage, we love how you can also detach the table base. Stacked with your favorite coffee table books, we think this table can add a real vintage feel to your space.
