Why Buy a College Trunk?

Getting everything from your teen's bedroom to their dorm room isn't likely to happen. That doesn't mean your teen can't pack the essentials. Here are a few reasons a college trunk is a smart buy for their college packing list whether your teenager is a freshman or returning to school for their second year:

• College trunks make it easy to pack up clothes and personal belongings, making them ideal for small space storage. If it fits in a trunk it will probably fit in their dorm room even if it is a tad undersized.
• College trunks do double-duty as closet storage for many students. Personal materials, passports, winter jackets and once-in-a-while shoes can all live comfortably in a trunk. You can even add organizers to make a trunk more functional.
• Your student can use their trunk as a coffee table or piece of furniture. No need to buy furniture just for a semester when a sturdy trunk can take care of business and look cool in the process.

What Styles Are Available?

Stylish trunks make it easy for your teenager to turn their dorm room into a designer-inspired space. Here are a few go-to looks you can find at Pottery Barn Dorm today:
