Storage trunks and chests have been serving practical purposes for centuries, and they still do. a trunk is a versatile piece of furniture for storage, travel and style. Too often we buy things that only serve one purpose; a trunk can serve so many purposes that once you have one, you'll want two!
1. Travel Trunk Using a trunk for travel was its original purpose. Years ago when people traveled they needed something sturdy that could handle the top of a stagecoach, or the bottom floor of a steamer ship. Although we tend to use modern luggage now when we travel, if you have possessions that need to be protected while you travel, nothing will keep them safer, and in one piece, than a strong trunk.
2. Coffee Table Trunk Using a trunk for a coffee table serves three purposes. First, it's a great place to set a big cup of Joe and your favorite magazines. second, it makes a great conversation starter; your guests will recognize the fact that you've interjected style and functionality into your home with one beautiful piece of furniture. third, you can store whatever you want in there. It could be the blanket chest you've always needed!
3. Log Cabin Furniture No log cabin is complete without a wood chest. Cabins are generally a second home for people, but don't carry all the amenities of "home" such as ample storage, furniture and decorations. a cedar chest or trunk will accomplish all three. use a trunk for a table or chair, a place to store dishes or blankets, and one of your main pieces of decoration.
4. Toy Chest A trunk or chest makes the perfect place for storing toys. It's easy enough for children to open, large enough to store everything from dolls, to trucks, to dress up clothes; and it is attractive when closed. place it right in your living room; this way the kids can have their toys close by, and the toys can also be cleaned up and out of sight quickly... leaving a beautiful chest behind.
5. Summer Camp Trunk When your child heads off to summer camp, it often feels like they're taking every piece of luggage the family owns. Bunk houses can be rustic, and kids don't always do the greatest job of protecting the family luggage which is most likely leather, vinyl or canvas. Send your child off to camp with a trunk of their own; chances are this will be one of the many summer experiences where a trunk will be needed. It will store everything from clothing and shoes, to towels, toiletries, snacks and Mr. Fuzzy. Chances are this will be the only piece of luggage necessary. a trunk will fit nicely under the cabin bunk beds and lock to protect your child's belongings.
6. College Dorm Trunk Remember back to your college dorm room... the first word that comes to mind is small. College students don't have much room or privacy when living in the dorms, and a trunk provides the perfect storage unit. a trunk gives students the ability to store their personal things in a compact unit that slides under bunks easily, looks cool, and also has the ability to lock and keep safe important possessions such as money or passports.
7. Gun Trunk Keep your guns safe from those who shouldn't be touching them. an extremely important part of being a gun owner is keeping your guns in a locked, safe place. Children should never have the opportunity to get at a parent's gun. a trunk will give you a lockable, safe storage area.
As you can see, owning a versatile piece of furniture can save you time, money and space. That special summer camp trunk may one day travel with your child off to college, and the cedar trunk in your living room may one day grace the living room of your grandchildren chalk full of memories.

Best Product!
by Terrance L. Phillips from Plano, Tx, US on 2010-08-26
These are the best thing since sliced bread!They work and make my job much easier.I clean and reinstall carpet for a living so I use MOVING MEN EVERY DAY.When my customers see me use them and how great they work they ask where they can get some.Moving furniture is a pain in the back.I can move a couch or loaded bookshelf by myself and put less stress on me and the furniture using these sliders.My customers like them so much that I often seem to have a few "missing" when I leave their home.So I'm back buying more.BTW I have tried other brands and Moving Men are well made and last longer than others.They are a DEAL!not a dud.

half happy
by Faxgirl from on 2010-07-31
Sliders are very useful. It comes with 4 large and 4 small. I'm not sure what we would use the small size slider for. Heavy furniture usually has a fairly wide base. I'll keep them in the closet for now - maybe I'll find a use for these half-dollar sized discs. I almost bought another brand (same size/number), but the Moving Men brand was on sale. I figured the orange discs would be easier to find in a closet later. But, I wish we had gone with a more neutral color. Reason being. we used them for a heavy entertainment center. Since we're still in the process of hooking everything up, the slides have stayed in place. I'm tired of looking at the bright orange highlights in my living room. A neutral color may have been better. Obviously these things aren't designed for home decor - but that's the nature of moving sometimes. It takes time to figure out where you want furniture to set. Overall all, we're pleased that our backs aren't aching from lifting heavy furniture. Note: these work well on carpet, but you'll need another product for hard wood floors.
movers
by Michael P. Lenahan from on 2010-07-08
good price and service. This is the second set of movers I've purchased, you can vertually move almost anything with these, I can't tell you how many times I used them to move furniture that two or three people would have trouble moving all by myself. They are truly an awsome tool.
Good for moving things without hurting your body
by Kent from Irvine, CA on 2010-07-05
These are nifty little discs. I have hardwood floors and as others have suggested, you need to clean the floor before attempting to let these slide across your floor. Others have suggested adding a layer of felt. While this helps a little, the floor still needs to be clean for a good move.
The 7" are great! The small sliders are worthless.
by N from USA on 2010-06-30
The 7" disks are the best furniture sliders available for two reasons; First, the larger the better. The more surface area you have, the easier it is to move the object. Second, the slick plastic. We were even able to move a heavy tv across the tile floor. They are definitely worth buying, just toss the small disks.

Good product
by xenofan from Kansas, USA on 2010-08-17
I wanted a set of whisks, and thought this product looked like good value for money. I am glad to say that I am pleased with my purchase and would recommend it to others. All the whisks seem very sturdy and differing sizes should suit most cooking requirements.
I did try to use the small whisk in order to beat a batch of very thick batter, and found it was totally ineffective. The batter clung to the whisk's wires and turned into a thick gluey ball: not what I wanted. This, however, was probably a result of my own error in using the wrong tool for the job, and not so much a problem with the product.
All in all, a good purchase. I did not give them five stars because the handles are just a little too bulky for me - I have small hands, and I do find that these are not entirely easy for me to grip. However, compared to the alternatives available, I feel that these whisks were still the best choice.
Disks at end of handle stick out and are sharp!
by D. Hsu from on 2010-05-19
These wshisks are light and overall are constructed well. HOWEVER, the disk at the end of the handle sticks out and is quite sharp! I was not going to risk getting my hand cut while using this thing and since it's too much trouble to return them to Amazon, I just tossed them out in the trash! What a waste of money!
Whisked it right up!
by Sydnee R. Seward from on 2010-02-08
I loved all three whisk, very appropriate sizes for my small family, yet the large whisked whipped up a large dessert in not time. Very satisfied with my purchase.

A very useful set of whisks - 3 great sizes...easy to hold onto, sturdy and priced well.
handy, utilitarian, and good value
by Marc E. Weiler PhD from Cross River, NY USA on 2010-02-01
great for whisking things for which you would ordinarily use a fork or chopstick. wires are continuous with handle, of stainless, and promise not to deteriorate and wind up in the mix.

Good for the price, but it is very transparent and thin. It is fairly sturdy but will not block out too much sun.

the are several possibilities,fuse,switch on release motor,key fob,or the relay located in the left panel of dash by the door. best advice if you cant figure it out yourself,take it to a shop and give them a limit on how much to spend. a knowledgeable tech should be able to find the problem in less than an hour.
