You can stack the various sizes; belt them together and use as a side table or foot stool. You can refinish to match your decor or leave them natural the way they came.
I look for them at yard sales "for a song." As long as their insides are relatively clean and they close and open satisfactorily, I snap them up.
What for? Wonderful storage containers! Christmas decorations, out-of-season clothing, old school mementoes ... whatever, can be stored in suitcases, which then stack or line up in basement attic or wherever. Slap on a strip of masking tape on which you can identify the contents.
Someone bought one of my old hard walled suitcases and its matching carry-on case with a mirror inside the lid for their daughter to use for her barbie dolls and all the clothes. Wonderful idea! (only my daughter is already 19 and out of barbie dolls!)
