This strong, heavy duty trunk is our most popular size for dorm rooms and off-campus college living.
The hand-crafted American Made Large Rhino Trunk™ is constructed from the highest quality components. Rhino Trunks™ are built using 7-ply, 3/8" Baltic Birch hardwood plywood, the finest plywood on earth. The exterior is laminated with high performance fabrics that are resistant to water penetration, denting and scratching. The result is a classic looking, premium quality, extremely durable trunk that will securely store all your personal and expensive items. At the same time, it will serve as a bench, nightstand, table or a step-up to the top bunk. Add a set of Rhino Removable Wheels and you'll have a trunk that's easy to move around campus!
The Large RhinoTrunk™ is strong enough to jump on and will hold hundreds of pounds. This size is the #1 seller for the dorm room. Rhino is the best selling brand of college trunks in America and has been approved by hundreds of universities.

Exterior Finishes: Two Choices - See Thumbnail Image Above for Details
The Armor nylon canvas is an exterior fabric sheathing that’s highly resistant to water penetration, denting and scratching. The Armor has a rich, canvas look and feel, but is not good for sticking decals to.
The Embossed Vinyl is an exterior laminate of high performance vinyl coated polyester that’s highly resistant to water penetration, denting and scratching. Its ideal for decorating and plastering with decals. Some customers refer to this as our "sticker trunk"
Large Rhino Trunk™ Quality Construction Features:
Entire frame is constructed of smooth 7-ply, 3/8" premium grade Baltic Birch hardwood plywood. The interior is the same smooth natural birch.
Exterior laminate - your choice of either Rhino Armor nylon canvas or embossed vinyl coated polyester. Both are highly resistant to water penetration, denting and scratching.
Thick, heavy duty proprietary steel hardware in your choice of plating colors (nickel, antique, brass or black).
Strong hand-crafted construction using old world trunkmaking skills and advanced aviation rivet technology. Steel rivets are used to ensure durability.
Bureau Veritas approved steel soft-close safety lid stay keeps the lid from slamming shut on fingers.
Stylish lockable magnetic steel trunk lock. Has a loop for attaching a padlock.
Tight fitting tongue and groove lid to base closure keeps out moisture, dirt, insects, odors, etc…
Genuine, durable leather handles on both ends.
Each Large Rhino Trunk™ comes with 2 steel universal wheel adapter plates already mounted on the end of the trunk. This allows you to easily add or remove Rhino’s specially designed wheels (not included) to your trunk anytime you want, anywhere you want in a matter of seconds. They’re extremely easy to use! No tools are needed, nor does the trunk need to be lifted to install them. Best of all, these advanced design removable wheels do not add any extra height to the trunk. Even with the wheels on, the trunk is stackable. To engage the wheels, simply lift the handle on the opposite end and start wheeling your trunk away.
Lifetime warranty – free non-cosmetic repairs for the life of the trunk. Warranty is voided if the trunk is used as a FedEx/UPS shipper or airline baggage.

I ordered and received one Large Rhino Classic Dorm Trunk RABSL-FG1. It looks nice except for a dent on a corner that appears to have occurred in the factory.

This looks like a nice trunk that matches the description and looks like it's constructed well. However, it seems to have been shipped with a dent on one corner. I have made arrangements to ship it shipped back for repair or replacement. Rhino was very nice about this and is willing to accept the return and repair it and ship it back with no charge to me. Rhino is also prepared to refund my money if I wish.
Unfortunately, since I live in the county and am a teacher, waiting for a FedEx pickup during the school day is unacceptable. Spending time I don't have to drop it off at a FedEx facility is also unacceptable until after school is over at the end of June.
Rhino is willing to wait until then to accept the return and or repair the trunk. I appreciate that.

Great quality item. We’ll made. Sturdy. Embossed vinyl exterior looks good. Looks like it will easily survive college years.
