foot locker

Soldier's storage trunk

A foot locker is a sturdy rectangular trunk, typically placed at the foot of a bed, used for storing personal belongings.

The term is most associated with military barracks, where recruits keep uniforms, gear, and personal items in standardized footlockers: Every recruit's foot locker had to pass inspection.

The design—low, flat-topped, lockable—makes it useful as both storage and seating.
