After owning my leather trunk from Saddleback Leather for about two years, I can confidently say it has exceeded all expectations. I wanted to give it plenty of time to see how it would hold up, especially in the hot Arizona climate inside my home. The result? This trunk has not only endured the extreme heat but has developed a beautiful patina, showcasing the quality of the full-grain leather. The craftsmanship is top-notch, with every detail exuding durability. Even after two years, there are no signs of wear or damage. The sturdy construction and rugged design give me complete confidence that this trunk will stand the test of time. It’s more than just a piece of furniture—it's an heirloom that I’m excited to pass down for generations. If you're looking for a timeless, well-built product that can handle the elements and still look incredible, this is it. Absolutely worth every penny and built to last!
So for those that know me, they know I don't have a problem speaking with others about almost any subject, except Math. However, I received the ultimate gift from my wife Bonnie for my 60th Birthday this past May. In my Birthday Card she wrote that I could purchase the trunk as I had expressed to her if only she would give her blessing. Well, I ordered and received the trunk in Tobacco - my favorite SL color. It is a Beautiful piece and like all other SL pieces is designed with much thought and is constructed to last for generations. It is a piece in our living room that belongs and will serve as a conversation starter about SL/Love 41, their overall mission, products, good works on behalf of thousands less fortunate, and all of the wonderful people my wife (Bonnie) and I have met through the SL Club Membership. Ultimately, our heirs will inherit this beauty and hopefully think of SL/Love 41 and us and all of the goodness it represents.
I've had my eyes on this trunk for a long time before I purchased it. It is beautiful and well-crafted. Currently it sits in our living room. We store blankets, books and a chess set in it, and we use these items daily. This trunk is a joy to have. I am thrilled with my purchase!
I have been a fan of Saddleback products for years, and I have been stalking a trunk purchase for nearly all those years! The obvious thing is the price and the shipping, which really makes this item a special purchase. Earlier this year, Saddleback ran a special of free shipping for orders over a certain level, which immediately made me want to reconsider my trunk stalking and make it a reality. The problem was that there was not a DCB (dark coffee brown - my favorite SB color) in stock. I called the amazing team at SB and asked if I could order a trunk and still get the shipping special, which THEY HONORED! I had to do it and happily made the order knowing it would be quite a few weeks before I would see it. Just before it was shipped, they called me and mentioned during the quality check, that a small rub happened on the leather in a spot where normal use would create the rub anyway. They made it right (generously), and I was still anxious to see the trunk. When it arrived, the unpacking was fun, and it did need an extra set of hands to move around. It is by far the most amazing piece of craftsmanship I have seen, and I could not be more happy with the trunk. Looking at it and the details every day is a joy. I consider this to be an heirloom-level item. I only really have 1 other "item" that qualifies, which is my grandmother's grandfather clock. Now I have two, and this trunk is a true work of art, it is obvious the care and attention to detail that goes into creating these pieces. Thank you to the entire SB team!
Let me start by stating the obvious. This is an expensive piece. In fact, it is the most expensive piece of "furniture" in my house. I absolutely do consider the trunk to be furniture rather than just storage. A couple things to consider, especially if you are buying one in Tobacco. As I understand it, most of these trunks are built-to-order so unless there happens to be one in stock, you won't really know the condition of YOUR trunk until you get it. Why does this matter? It's a big trunk. It uses a lot of leather. It's NOT going to look perfect. Mine has some scars, bug bites, and scratches. It's going to get more too, I'm sure. If you are looking for perfection, get DCB or some other color. While I like imperfections, I do not like water marks from some ill advised coasterless glasses. To that end, the lid of my Trunk is treated with Chamberlain's #3 waterproofing. It will darken the leather a bit, but looks great. It's a beautiful piece. You'll love it!
