Product Information
Full details
The HOMCOM 100L Storage Chest Trunk is an ideal organizational solution for homeowners looking to declutter living rooms or bedrooms while adding functional seating. Its 100-liter capacity easily accommodates bulky items like blankets and cushions, though its particle board construction means it is better suited for indoor, dry environments rather than damp areas like garages or basements.

FAQs
What is the maximum weight the lid can hold?
The lid supports a maximum weight capacity of 136 kg.
Can this be used as a coffee table?
Yes, its flat, sturdy top makes it a suitable surface for use as a coffee table, provided you do not exceed the weight limit.
Is the trunk water-resistant?
The melamine finish is water-resistant for quick cleanups, but it is not waterproof. Avoid placing it in high-humidity areas.
What tools are needed for assembly?
You will generally need a Phillips head screwdriver. A rubber mallet may be helpful for dowels but is not strictly required.
How do I clean the interior?
Wipe the interior surface with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that might degrade the particle board finish.
Troubleshooting
The lid slams shut or does not stay open.
Check that the soft-close hinge is properly tightened and that the screws attaching it to the lid have not loosened.
The unit wobbles on the floor.
Ensure all floor pads are present and the unit is on a level surface. Adjust the tightness of the base screws if the frame is slightly misaligned.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Integrated soft-close mechanism prevents accidental slamming
- Dual-purpose design functions as storage and seating
- Melamine surface is resistant to spills and light scratches
- Generous 136 kg weight capacity ensures structural durability
Cons
- Requires assembly upon arrival
- Not suitable for outdoor use due to particle board material
- Solid lid design limits access if items are placed on top
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly of the chest is straightforward but requires basic tools, typically a screwdriver. Ensure all cam locks and screws are tightened securely during the initial build to maintain the structural integrity of the particle board panels. For long-term maintenance, avoid placing heavy, sharp objects directly on the melamine surface to prevent deep gouges. While the unit is floor-friendly, avoid dragging the trunk across carpet or hardwood when fully loaded to keep the anti-slip pads in position. Periodically check the tension on the soft-close hinge to ensure the lid continues to move smoothly without resistance.
