Mang Solid Mango Wood Trunk, brown, LA REDOUTE INTERIEURS

Having explored many websites to find a wooden trunk to my liking, I stumbled across this trunk, which is absolutely stunning! It is also easily manageable as it is not too heavy. I simply love it and would strongly recommend it.

The trunk took a while to get here but it was worth the wait. I got a really good price on it so great value for a solid wooden piece. It's big enough for me and sits at the foot of my bed and goes well with my other dark wood furniture. One strange thing though, the box really smelt of cheese. The trunk was ok though. I note it came from India. Coincidentally, I ordered a pair faux silk curtains from the middle classes' favourite department store. They smelt of cheese too. Had to wash them before I could use them. These came from India too. I can only imagine that they've been both been put in a shipping container with a load of paneer. Very strange.
