Non-hinged Version:
I know there are those that LOVE the older version with the hinges, but I love the current version (haven't seen the older one). I like being able to lift the lid completely off and set it wherever there is room. The top is domed so if it was hinged and swung open, I'd have to place it where it was out from the wall to open it.
It is a nicely crafted piece of wood and I feel that it really enhances my Josefina collection. It also holds all her clothing and accessories easily.
I got Josefina's trunk at the beginning of the year after hearing that they would be discontinued. I wanted to be sure I got one.
I really wanted a new one since I wasn't interested in the hinges. I haven't seen a PC one with hinges, but because of the domed top, I think it would have to be pulled out from the wall to open it up. I like the removable top.
Front of the trunk
Close-up on one of the panels on the front
side view. Note the cut outs to put your fingers in to pick it up.
Back view. The new trunk doesn't have the black Pleasant Company plaque
.
Holds all my Josefina clothes easily. I could put all her accessories in here except her furniture, but I'm using them in a display.
Close-up of how leather straps on the tray are attached. Very ingenious.
I give this trunk an A+ for beauty and functionality.
