Pros: This trunk is fabulous! My son is going to summer camp and I wanted to get his trunk for his birthday (in March). I looked around and was not happy with what I was able to find (cheap construction). I emailed the camp he was going to be attending and they told me who they recommend. I called them immediately and ordered a trunk in camp colors and they even put the camp logo on the trunk for me. We love it. It is the perfect size, the tray organizer slides easily and is sturdy. Cons: The only thing I noticed is the wheels on the wheel away system do not completely lock into place but they do stay in place while you roll the trunk Comments: We will also be purchasing one of these trunks for our daughter and will recommend and have already recommended ot other friends with first time campers! Store Response: We designed the wheels so that they don't completely lock into place. We wanted the wheels to be easily removed by children and we did not want them to have to use tools to remove the wheels. The wheels should always stay in place while the footlocker is being rolled. We're happy to hear that you'll be purchasing from us again. Also, please note that as of October, 2011 the Glide & Go Tray is no longer included with the footlocker. Thank you for your review!

Pros: Super sturdy construction, well built, lots of colors to choose from Comments: This is the second trunk we've bought of this type, one for each of our daughters when they started summer camp. I began looking for trunks at places like the Container Store but found what they carried to be really shoddy construction and not like what I remember taking to camp when I was a kid. I went online and found C&N. It surely was more expensive than some of the others but it's much better made. My girls will be going to camp for many years to come and I'm certain we won't have to buy another one for either of them. Delivery was fast and the contents were in good shape. I really would stop your trunk search here at C&N with this design.

Pros: Really sturdy and roomy- I was shocked how much more room than our old trunk. Love the baked enamel over metal finish- it wipes clean easily and the magnetic white board sticks right to it. The plastic glide and go tray is perfect to hold the first aid kit and vet supplies. We got the wheel kit which makes for a much easier time getting it into the showbarn! OH and the lid latch holds it up to keep the 5 yr old from getting her head smacked while getting things out of the box! Cons: so far we haven't found any problems, other than when the wheels are on you hold the box nearly vertical to move it- so you have to plan to put heavier items at the wheel side. Comments: Nana and Gramps purchased this footlocker for our girls for Christmas to use as a "showbox" for their rabbitry. Its a perfect size for everything they need, plus we can stick our valuables in there and feel safe while we peruse the vendors, or run to the little girls room! Plus who else has the lime green that they chose as their color theme! WOW! Store Response: Please note that as of October, 2011 the Glide & Go Tray is no longer included with the footlocker.

Pros: This past summer was my teenage son's first summer camp. I wanted to ensure he had the right equipment without overdoing it. The most important item being his footlocker. We shopped at the sporting goods stores nearby but was not happy with the quality displayed. Then I found C and N Footlockers on the web. What a difference! Could not believe an on-line store would have everything he would need for his month long trip! There were so many colors to choose from and accessories. We settled on a white one with wheels and inside accessories. We received it within a couple of weeks and could not believe the quality and durability!! He actually stood on it to test it and it didn't even move. It was also light enough so that even with his belongings he could handle it on his own. I truly feel that you should use no other brand when investing in a footlocker that will eventually be passed down to his other siblings over the years!!! Comments: We shipped the footlocker and his belongings to and from the camp and it survived the trip with no problems!!!! Store Response: Please note that as of October, 2011 the Glide & Go Tray is no longer included with the footlocker.
