Stylish storage solutions to pack away summer that are 'great value for money' (original) (raw)
Now autumn has definitely arrived and the temperature is dropping, for many people it signals the time to pack away summer clothes and bedding once cleaned and some people opt for plastic vacuum suction packed bags that shrink small and hide under the bed.
But why not also look for storage is so lovely it adds character to a space and deserves to be seen and appreciated and baskets certainly do this, but can be quite pricey for larger sizes, so the Purity Large Trunk from Dunelm is eye-catching at just £25.
Online, the price, attractiveness and ease of assembly of the trunk are regularly commented on with one reviewer saying, 'Really handy, good sized storage box. Very easy assembly. Looks smart and is very good value' and another happy customer stating, 'Perfect for storing extra sheets and blankets and super affordable'.

This versatility of the Purity Large Trunk was echoed by another buyer who said it was a basket for anything, adding, 'I love it so much I purchased 3. One is used in the bedroom of my 2 youngest daughters who have it for excess books. The other in my room for pyjamas and I purchased another for towels. They look lovely, are a great size and just go with the aesthetic vibe I have in our home and love'.

The main negative comment that people made was the actual size of the trunk, described as large but this did not meet some buyers' expectations, with one saying, 'Definitely not a large trunk, please check dimensions as the photo is deceiving' with another adding, 'Smaller than I anticipated, my fault for not checking measurements, but great for spare bed linen'.
The trunk is foldable so there's a basic element of self-assembly, made with metal wire frame, paper, polyester and cotton weave, the trunk is 35cm high, 54cm wide and 38cm deep and comes in natural, white and grey. The trunk also comes in small (£15), and extra large (35) plus as a basket size (£10) and a set of three baskets, now reduced from £18 to £12.60.
