History of Steamer Trunks
The steamer trunks were quite instrumental when Americans began to expand westward, and they reached the peak of their popularity in the 1800’s to early 1900’s. The steamer trunks were built with a durable, rugged, and reliable structure. Most people used these trunks to store clothes, treasures, and other valuables whenever they would travel on trains and steamships. These wooden trunk chests were specifically built with a low profile to fit in berths of trains and in the cabins of a steamships, and then they were given the name steamer trunk. For more info about the fascinating history of wooden chests, check out our blog.
Historians claim that most people wanted their trunks to be built with a rounded lid. The porters loading the trains and ships would often place the humpbacked trunks on top of the stack of luggage. This would help keep the trunk from getting damaged at the bottom of the stack. If you want to learn more about the history of the steamer trunks, check out our blog titled ” What is a steamer trunk, history, uses and different styles “
Uses of a Steamer Trunk
Storage Trunk
Although a steamer trunk is no longer used for traveling, a trunk chest is a great way to store valuables and priceless family heirlooms. These sturdy, durable Amish handcrafted trunk chests will keep your delicate china, blankets, and precious family heirlooms safe. With antique hardware and genuine leather handles, these wooden trunk chests give off a certain air of nostalgia which looks great in any room that you choose to place it.
Coffee Table
When you choose a steamer trunk with a flat top lid, you can also use it as a coffee table, end table, or an accent piece. Place it in the center of any of your rooms, and your friends will be impressed with these authentic trunks chests.
Great Gift Idea
In addition, a steamer trunk makes a great gift to any of your family members or friends. With its great overall appearance and functionality, your friends and family will be impressed with a priceless treasure chest. It is a valuable gift idea that shows how much you appreciate your friends and family. Or gift this beautiful trunk to your children and grandchildren and create a coveted heirloom that will last for years to come!
Steamer Trunk Tops
Our steamer trunks come with two varieties of lids – a flat top lid or a dome lid. Although both styles are quite popular, each style trunk chest has its benefits.
Dome Lids
If you order a steamer trunk with a dome shape lid, you will be able to store more of your valuables inside. Also, the cross beams inside the lid help provide extra strength and visual interest.
Flat Lids
A steamer trunk with a flat top lid can be used in several different ways. With a flat surface on top, this trunk chest can be used for storage at the foot of your bed, as a side table in your living room, or even used as media stand. If you place this beautifully handcrafted trunk chest in the center of your living room, your guests will be sure to notice.
Steamer Trunk Styles
Lock and Sliding Tray
Regardless if you choose a rounded lid or a flat top lid, our handcrafted Amish steamer trunks are available with a functioning lock and a slide tray inside the lid made of aromatic cedar.
Hardware Options
Each of our steamer trunks can be made in solid maple, hickory, or oak. Also, we have a variety of stains you can choose from. Each trunk includes hardware options such as polished nickel, polished brass, antique brass, or dark bronze. The hardware options include the lock, latches, handle caps, and corners. You can design your trunk to match the rest of your home decor and suit your style.
Specialty Finish
The steamer trunk with the “Old World Specialty” finish will give your room an authentic, timeless appeal that blends well with vintage or historic décor. Each of our distressing techniques are randomly applied to your trunk. Rounded and worn corners, knife cuts, simulated worm holes and cracks, chain distressing marks, rasping, and dips all help give the trunk and “old fashioned” appearance.

I received my Oak Steamer Trunk yesterday. I had planned to put it in my office, however, my wife has informed me that this is such a beautiful piece of furniture and I must have it in the general area of the house so we can enjoy the beauty of this piece and be able to show it off to all are friends and guests. Thank you for the quality workmanship you have furnished to manufacture our trunk. Unfortunately the emphasis in most manufacturing today is not on the quality of the item(s) produced but how fast they can be made and what shortcuts can be taken.
Once again thank you for a superior piece of furniture. Tim Wardlow

Beautiful. The trunk was completed two days before due date and shipped over nght. It was a gift for my daughter. After receiving the trunk she called immediately to say thank you. She was thrilled with the wood and craftsmanship. Well done, Joshua.

I recently purchased a Maple Steamer Trunk from Josh and his team. It arrived in perfect condition and is just a gorgeous piece of furniture. You can tell right away that it was carefully built with a high degree of attention to detail. The craftsmanship is amazing and I feel truly honored to own this piece. Thank you!

Frankly, I’m not that easy to please when it comes to custom wood furniture – my father was a master carpenter – but I was very impressed with this piece and give it a 5-star rating.
The trunk is solid and unblemished, the fit and finish are excellent, and the hardware pieces accent the overall appearance nicely. The cedar tray insert is a wonderful feature – it’s surprisingly handsome, adds practical value, moves easily along the rails (no wobbling or sticking) and smells great. The customized brass plaque is located on the inner-side of the lid and is immediately visible when the trunk is opened. The script and engraving are very attractive, and the message gives the trunk a very personal feel.
Equally important, service was excellent. Joshua was extremely helpful – from my first email inquiring about availability of stock, selecting the piece, selecting stain finish and hardware, through confirmation of shipment to make sure it arrived in time for my wife’s birthday. Emails were promptly answered (same day), with complete information, including alternate options and suggestions. Well done.
Based on my experience, I have no doubt the quality of service and workmanship are the same on all the other Amish Hand Crafted products. I recommend the Maple Flat Top Trunk for anyone looking for a beautifully-crafted, personalized keepsake trunk. The price is fair for a piece of this quality and the staff obviously knows their business. Best of all, my wife loves this trunk.

Ever since I was a little girl, I wished for a large wooden chest to go at the foot of my bed. Over the years, I’ve collected heirlooms from my family, like quilts and a set of china, and I was hoping for a place to keep them safe. I received this beautiful steamer trunk as a Christmas gift, and I must say that I was thrilled to see it! The craftsmanship is excellent, and the finish is lovely. It has become a perfect addition to my house in function and beauty. Thank you!

We received our trunk today and it is even nicer than the websites pictures portray. Well made product in every aspect up to and including the care in which the way the trunk was packaged for delivery. We would highly recommend Amish Handcrafted to everyone we know!!!! Truly AWESOME!!!!!!!!

When my mother-in-law was well into her 90th year, she determined to get our youngest a blanket or ‘hope’ chest. Our daughter, however, wasn’t so convinced she needed such a fine piece of furniture, until I sent her the link to your wonderful website. Olivia chose the steamer trunk in a warm cherry finish and some antique hardware, and promptly returned to college in another state. Grandmother passed a few months ago, but we knew we had achieved one of her last goals in finding the exact chest she would have chosen for our daughter. Olivia finally saw her trunk on graduation weekend/Mothers Day. It is certainly a treasured piece, beautiful in every way.

I ordered this trunk for our grand daughter’s high school graduation, a bit concerned that it could be done on time. I should not have worried! It arrived to its destination a few days early, I knew what was happening all along in production and delivery, and the packaging was terrific. Very tight and secure.
The trunk itself was fabulous! My son-in-law knows wood and craftsmanship and said it is the best piece of furniture in his house now. We have the rich cherry stain on it, got the sliding cedar tray, and also purchased the name plate customized exactly to our words. This is one beautiful piece of furniture.
As others have said Josh was great to speak with and followed through on all he promised. I would love to send a picture with the trunk and its recipient for your files. She was very pleased with this surprise. Now I must decide if I ‘need’ one of these chests for myself, hers is so well crafted!
Thanks Amish Hand Crafted! ~ Susan

What a BEAUTIFUL piece of furniture. The craftmanship is outstanding. I was astounded at how incredible it looked when we opened up the box. It completed the room and is the new conversation piece in our home. Finding this type of quaility craftmanship is rare. We had it engraved with a secret message for our children to find later. We have told them that it is now a treasured family heirloom to be in our family for generations to come. We are going to be ordering a trunk for our wedding gift to our daughter. Thank you again, The Horricks Family

I forgot to add the star rating to my review. Five stars doesn’t do it justice !!!
Pamela.Borsheim –
It was better. I was so excited to see the box on my porch and the words American made. Then I opened it and what can I say? The artistry involved in the construction. It was perfect. Trust me I’ve been looking for sometime. Originally I thought I would be going with something from pottery barn and almost did but decided to keep looking. I’m so glad I did. Not only is the quality of my chest superb but it cost less than the one from PB and once again I can’t stress the importance of the words American made. Lastly I would add Josh put any of my concerns to rest. Highly recommend any of their products

Hi Josh, I love the distressed maple steamer trunk. It looks like the picture, only nicer. It came earlier than expected and was very well packaged. The “Michael” stain with the antique brass hardware was just the look I was going for. Thanks for the great customer service, too. It was a pleasure doing business with your company, received a beautiful, heirloom pierce of furniture, and it was hand crafted right here in the U.S.A. I love it so much, I may have to order another one for the next child getting married. Thanks again! Theresa Mc

The trunk is beautiful. It was shipped on the date I was given when I place my order and arrived the following day. It looks great in my home and is just want I was looking for to keep family mementos. I am very please with my purchase.

This was purchased to become an heirloom as it is for storage of family items related to my late wife. Josh customized the hardware for me mixing bright brass and nickel – something my wife loved to do with jewelry and furnishings. I looked at alternative pieces but the quality promised, and delivered, with this purchase was a far greater and lasting value. Arrived packaged to prevent damage and did so.

My daughter has been wanting a steamer trunk for some time. We were all set to get one at PB and there were none in stock. After a less than pleasurable experience at PB I decided to look on line and found these beautiful trunks. The trunk arrived sooner that expected and it is absolutely beautiful. The workmanship is outstanding, far better than I could find in any local store.

Just received this beautiful steamer trunk. Josh you did a fantastic job. I absolutely love it. I can’t wait to give it to my husband on his birthday.

The trunk was purchased for our son’s 40th birthday. Mr. Stoltzfus was prompt and helpful to ensure the trunk was received by his birthday in August. When our son saw the trunk, he commented on its beauty and markmanship. All of us were very pleased and highly recommend Mr. Stoltzfus and company.

The Maple chest with Michael stain and Old World Distressing is beautiful. It is a Christmas present for our daughter, but my wife had no idea what I had ordered (:)). We quickly opened the shipping box (very well packed) and my wife was amazed with the beauty of the chest, and loved the inscription on the inside of the lid. It has been placed back into the shipping box and hidden for a few weeks, but will soon be prominently displayed by our wonderful daughter. Thanks for the fantastic workmanship, I know this will be a highlight of Christmas in our home.
Donna Owen –
I was worried when I first ordered this trunk because you never know what you’re going to get when you order something online. I found that I worried needlessly … this trunk is beautiful. I plan on handing it down to my daughter and then to my granddaughter. Given how amazingly well built it is, I know it will last them a lifetime. Thank you so much for the beautiful craftsmanship you put into it. I will not hesitate to refer anyone to your website.
brandymkidd –
Thank you so much for this beautiful heirloom chest. We wanted to put a new spin on the old-fashioned idea of a girl’s hope chest — placing in it items for college and beyond. We searched a lot and finally decided to make an investment in a quality piece of craftsmanship.
This chest could even serve as a coffee table in a first home, with a piece of glass added to the top.
We are more than pleased with what we received. Thank you!!

When our daughter saw her trunk for the first time she cried and said, “Oh Mama…it’s everything I ever imagined it would be.” The trunk’s style is classic; the quality and workmanship superb. The finish is smooth as silk. My daughter wanted a dark stain so we chose the rich tobacco complemented by brushed nickel hardware. The trunk was very well packaged and arrived timely in perfect condition. Mr. Stoltzfus was helpful during our email exchanges and even offered to send me a sample of the stained wood. I decided to proceed with our original selection and do not at all regret doing so. The chest will stand the test of time and will eventually be inherited by our granddaughter, Maddi. Thank you so much for making our daughter’s dream come true.
Sincerely,
Scott and Melissa Hobbs

I just received the Plymouth Maple trunk with the rich cherry finish. The cherry stain color is perfect and goes with all my furniture pieces. The craftsmanship is outstanding, and I love the bronze metal for the latch, etc. I couldn’t be any happier with this trunk. Josh was wonderful to work with and the trunk arrived quickly as promised.

My new trunk came today. I was a little nervous ordering this via a website – but I am SO glad I did. This trunk is absolutely breathtaking. The color (coffee) makes it stand out in my livingroom. I am actually thinking of getting smaller ones for my nieces. No doubt one of the best decisions I’ve ever made was ordering from you!!! Thank you so much!

Josh – your craftmanship is absolutely exquisite. I am so very proud of my trunk and I know my husband would be too, if he were still here. The detail is just fabulous. Thank you so much! I am so glad I decided to purchase from you instead of buying an antique trunk to store all of my memories of my late husband. God bless and thanks again!

My husband ordered the Maple Steamer Trunk in Legacy Black as a gift for me. It is stunning. Much more beautiful than the pictures show. It is the most beautiful gift I have ever received. The quality and craftsmanship is unparalleled, and so masterful I can see no way in which this piece could be improved upon. If this is what you are looking for, have no fear that you will receive an elegant piece of art. Truly this chest is nothing short of a beautiful work of art.
Thank you for your obvious love and devotion to making these high quality chests and trunks. I will treasure this my entire life.
And should my husband read this review… thank you, love, for knowing what would be the perfect gift for me before I knew it myself.

This is absolutely one of the most beautiful pieces of furniture I’ve ever seen! I seriously doubt that I would have been able to find anything of such high quality in a furniture store. Wow! Josh is obviously a very gifted artisan who goes to great lengths to craft nothing but the finest, high-quality furniture. This trunk will become an heirloom that will last and last. Thank you, Josh!

My chest was delivered the end of November as promised (tall Plymouth trunk). I don’t have words to describe how completely happy I am with it. It is truly a piece to be proud of. I know it will stand the test of time and be handed down from generation to generation. A real family heirloom. ~ Tina

The chest arrived completely undamaged and the craftsmanship is unlike anything I have ever purchased. The finish and design is truly remarkable. I bought this for my wife who wanted a chest like this since she was a little girl. I believe I made the perfect choice and she loves the chest. American craftsmanship and quality.

I purchased the Steamer Trunk as a hope chest for my daughter’s wedding shower. We all loved it! The quality and craftsmanship are outstanding. It was so securely packaged it arrived ahead of schedule in perfect condition. It’s so hard to find such great quality in this day and age. I am ordering a second one for my son! Thanks so much Josh for the impeccable service and great product.

We purchased the Oak Plymouth Trunk and couldn’t be more pleased. We’d been looking for a trunk to use as a coffee table for the family room in our mountain home. We are so happy that we found Josh’s site. This trunk is exactly what we wanted to complete the look of the room. We were concerned about our decision to add the Old World Distressing finish. It turned out to be the correct choice and gives the trunk a wonderful antique look. Everyone who has seen this piece has commented on the quality workmanship and gorgeous finish.
Regarding their Customer Service, I can only say that Josh must be a saint to deal with a customer like me. I’m a big time perfectionist and asked multiple questions. Josh took the time to answer every one of my concerns in a timely manner and with complete professionalism. We received the chest quickly and in perfect condition due to their careful packaging.

I ordered this trunk to finish off my den after basically a total remodelling of the house. Shortly after placing the order I reeived an e-mail stating it was scheduled to be finished and ship on 10/24/18 and it was! Once I got the trunk unboxed it was better than I expected or could have imagined. The coffee finish and antique brass hardware were perfect for room. Close to the flooring finish but just dark enough to have the perfect contrast. The construction is beautiful and it is evident the craftsmen take extraordinary pride in their work. This is a beautiful, quality piece of artistic craftsmanship that I am pleased to have in my home. I also ordered the distressing and it was done in a way that added just the right amount of “character” to the piece but did not make it look as if it had been thrown about carelessly or used as a workbench…just the right amount , not too much, not too little. Again, this is a very nice piece of craftsmanship that exceeded my expectations. Not only are they excellent at crafting theses trunks but the packaging was excellent as well. Heavy Cardboard box with the trunk wrapped in a protective foam-like “paper” and placed in a styrofoam “crate” giving it a nice snug fit in the box and a piece of styrofoam inside the trunk to prevent the sliding cedar box from sliding and damaging the inside during shipping. Excellent work and communication all around.

I want to thank you for our beautiful chest! The craftsmanship far exceeded my expectations and we just love it! Thank you, too, for letting us pick it up at your shop. I really enjoyed visiting your part of Pennsylvania. It is truly beautiful.

Beautiful craftsmanship! It was a wonderful experience working with Josh on ordering and receiving my trunk. In fact I’ve ordered a blanket chest due to his workmanship.
Nancy K Channell (verified owner) –
I needed a bedside table to separate two twin beds in guest room. Choosing the tall, flat topped trunk has satisfied the need. Vintage trunks are more expensive and frequently have the musty moth ball smell. It looks great, and construction is solid, neat, and well crafted. Projected delivery was close and notified delivery was exactly right.

So happy I stumbled on this website. I can only echo the previous (and helpful) reviews. The dome-lidded vintage-style steamer chest was exactly what I wanted. I was very particular about the color, which can be difficult to determine from a computer screen, but Josh suggested the perfect stain. He was very responsive throughout the process. As others have mentioned, distressing is minimal and not overdone. I wanted a big chest and I got it: the tall-sized chest is big enough that a small adult could curl up inside — perfect for bulky linens, pillows, clothing, or other items. With a piece of glass added to ensure a smooth surface, the flat-topped version of the tall chest would make a good coffee table. Even the heavy lid on a chest this size stays open by itself when fully raised, which is a common failing of cheaper quality chests. Fully finished on all sides and the inside, the chest is attractive from any angle and even with the lid raised. It came in a cardboard box lined with thick styrofoam, which minimizes potential for damage during shipping and actually makes it fairly easy to maneuver the heavy chest into the house without damage after delivery.
If only I needed more than one or two chests!

I am “wowed”, by this steamer chest. There is no “bull” in what is promised on the website whatsoever. If you are going to purchase a steamer trunk, or any of the other products, I strongly recommend this company and its fine products. I am a bit of a perfectionist myself, having been a policeman and veteran, and the son of a mechanical engineer. My dad would approve of the trunk I purchased and the quality of craftsmanship. He was a woodworker, himself. Nicely done,
Amish Handcrafted. Very much indeed.

The quality and craftsmanship of my Vintage Steamer Trunk is simply amazing.
I felt very confident proceeding with this order once reading other reviews on this company and their products and knew I was ordering a great piece of fine furniture.
I must admit though that I was still very surprised of the quality and attention to detail that went into making this piece. I am a Tool and Die Maker so maybe a little more picky than most when it comes to design and quality. I couldn’t find a single thing that I thought would make this chest better and the finish inside of the chest is just as beautiful as the outside-every single inch.
Customer service is outstanding. I made a mistake when selecting one of the options for hardware and Joshua was very quick to respond and get it corrected.
My chest arrived on schedule and was packaged very well.
If you are in the market, do not hesitate, as you will not be disappointed.

My daughter’s steamer trunk arrived today, and it is simply amazing!!! The Dark Knight stain is almost an exact match to our walnut wood floors, and the details make all the difference. I will definitely be posting pictures of the unboxing on IG soon. I can’t yet because its a surprise for a trousseau!!

We have bought five chests for each of my granddaughters over the past 9 years for their sweet sixteen birthday. Each girl picked out their style, stain and hardware. The workmanship is impeccable and these chests are beautiful! These are gifts that our girls will have for their lifetime as a reminder of their papa and nana.

Being able to specifically design the steamer trunk of my dreams was wonderful, and I am grateful I could do so through your company. The delivery of the trunk fulfilled a decades-long wish of owning a steamer trunk of my own – it’s absolutely beautiful and of the highest quality. Your artisans are to be commended for their expertise! I received a piece of art – my vintage-style steamer trunk is absolutely stunning! Thank you – thank you – thank you!
