Such a cute chest. Multi functional I think it is great. It is funny some of you mentioned a hope chest. My 17 year old GD was here the other night & we were embroidering Mickey & Minnie on some hand towels. I gave them to her & told her to put them in her "hope chest" She said "what is a hope chest" lol I guess I wasn't thinking that kids now don't use them. I loved mine when I was young. I had lots of neat stuff in it.
