Restoration Hardware makes a beautiful line of home furniture that resembles old steamer trunks. Those classic lines, shapes and textures now grace desks, bookcases, enterainment centers and chests.
Neatorama, I know where Restoration Hardware is if I suddenly decide I need anything ersatz old, massively overpriced, and greige. You don't have to keep telling me.
These are beautiful. The key is "resembles old steamer trunks." The real things are problematic. I've sold a few of them, and invariably women will tell me I'm asking too little, as they are historic and wonderful and rare. Men will tell me I'm asking too much, either because they want a bargain or because they know how fragile, heavy, and useless they are.
