<p>Are you guys planning to get a trunk/footlocker for storing your stuff? Are the C&N footlockers any good? >> <a href="http://www.cnmfg.com%5B/url%5D">www.cnmfg.com</a> They look quite sturdy.</p>
<p>I think lockers are great for college and you use it for a gazillion things like to store winter clothes, lock away valuables like laptops, as night table, a suitcase for travelling, and if you throw a few pillows on top it makes a cool seater. :)</p>
<p>I think they'd be good...especially if you are going to school far from home and have to move a lot of your stuff across the country</p>
<p>ooo~~~...that's nice</p>
<p>They are so multi-functional that I really don't think that you could go wrong. Now if only they were cheaper.</p>
<p>Yeah, most footlockers are $$$, but when you compare it to the other equipment you'd have to buy (suitcases, safes, chairs, table) I think it's worth it. Are there any brands that you recommend or go by? I don't think $129 is worth it if it's a flimsy locker with no guarantees.</p>
<p>Just be careful if you have to travel by plane--footlockers can be heavy or too big for the size and weight limits. Otherwise, though, go for it. Just make sure you get a sturdy one that will hold up.</p>
<p>C&N make good wood footlockers.
It costs a little more, but you can get a military quality composite footlocker if you need watertight and durable protection.

<p>Three cheers for bumping a five year-old thread.</p>
<p>Hah, spammer fail.</p>
<p>I have been researching this moving and storage question for awhile, but not five years 
There is so much out there that is fine, until you fill with something and try and move it. I put too many books in boxes and plastic containers and they fail quickly. I found the Rubbermaid Roughneck totes very good and they stack a few high. There are a couple decent plywood footlocker makers. When moving them I tend to catch them on things and damage the corners. For me it is worth investing more and have something that will really protect items, like the aforementioned ECS Case footlocker. Water proof, bump proof, casters and easy on the shins.<br>
If cost is the main factor, get a free cardboard box, some good packing tape and recycle it when it expires. I have done more of this than anything due to volume. I can’t afford a garage full of footlockers!</p>
<p>why would a college student need a watertight trunk? unless they’re attending college in the middle of the pacific ocean…</p>
<p>^ All of Jack and Rose’s problems would have been avoided if they had had a watertight trunk.</p>
