Adding Storage Space
One absolute essential in a cramped dorm room is adding storage space. OCM trunks are ideal for move-in day, since students can fill it up and wheel it into their new dorm. Once students get into their dorm, it doubles as an oversized storage solution, a coffee table, end of bed accessory, ottoman, or even a stepstool.
