With its generous 100L capacity, it provides ample room for blankets, cushions, and seasonal linens, while its dual-purpose design allows it to function as a sturdy seat. While it offers excellent storage utility and safety features, users should note that the particle board construction requires careful assembly to ensure long-term stability.

FAQs
Can this trunk be used as a bench?
Yes, the lid is designed to support up to 136 kg, making it suitable for use as a bench seat.
What are the internal storage dimensions?
The unit provides a total capacity of 100 liters, though exact internal dimensions should be checked against the included assembly manual to ensure your items fit.
Does the lid stay open on its own?
The safety hinge is designed to prevent slamming, but for maximum safety, always ensure the lid is fully opened.
Is the material waterproof?
It is water-resistant thanks to the melamine coating, but it is not waterproof. Avoid direct exposure to standing water.
What tools are needed for assembly?
Standard screwdrivers are typically required. Please check the included hardware list for any specific tool requirements.
Does it come with floor protection?
Yes, it includes anti-slip foot pads designed to protect your flooring from scratches.
Troubleshooting
The lid feels loose or wobbly.
Check all hinge screws and structural cam locks. Ensure they are fully tightened as per the assembly instructions.
The lid is slamming shut despite the safety hinge.
The hinge may require adjustment. Verify that it is properly aligned and that no internal items are blocking the path of the lid.
Surface marks or scuffs appear on the white finish.
Gently clean with a mild soap and water solution on a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges that could dull the melamine coating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly: The trunk is shipped flat-packed and requires assembly using standard household tools. Ensure all cam locks and screws are tightened securely during the initial setup to maximize the structural integrity of the particle board frame.
Compatibility: Its white, neutral finish fits seamlessly into most interior design styles, including Scandinavian, modern, or minimalist decor. It is intended for indoor use only in climate-controlled environments.
Care: To maintain the finish, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners. A soft, damp cloth is sufficient for removing dust or smudges. Do not allow water to pool on the surface for extended periods, as moisture can penetrate the particle board edges if the coating is chipped.
