Speaking of 'ice breakers', and instant conversation makers.....
imagine you had this trunk behind a love seat or sofa , or you could use it for your media in some capacity. Whatever.
This is a trunk from the collection of ' Laurel & Hardy '.
I would be extremely psyched to use something like this in my family room.
And it is an important piece of nostalgia .
And In regards to design, it does not get better than that !
