Question Author
A bit wider, so that I can put my amp and the set-top box (both picture) inside it, and 'things' on top. We live in an absurdly small London flat, and are always madly looking for ways of improving our storage.
I think I DID ask in my original question that I was asking very specifically what it was likely to have been called and also where it probably originated. But as Buenchico says, with a sigh, people don't often read the questions!
Thanks for those of you who've tried to help, though.
