Although the most commonly seen steamer trunks are made with a solid wood box they are also covered in a more soft and pliable type of material. One of these materials is leather for a soft and impressive feel. The leather steamer trunk was a prized possession in the heyday of long haul travel and was an indicator of a wealthy traveler.

These days leather steamer trunks are still prized possessions but more for their value today and their look as exceptional pieces of decorative furniture. One of the most valuable uses for one of these trunks is as a coffee table. Sitting in the middle of a spacious lounge room, a leather steamer trunk coffee table will provide a focal point that the rest of the room can be based around.

In a lot of cases the leather that is added to the steamer trunk can make it look more impressive. Leather straps and handles can be used to offset the rest of the trunk to add elegant or functional detail work.
