Know before you buy
No, this piece arrives fully assembled and ready for use. Given its weight of 264 pounds, we recommend having assistance when positioning it in your bedroom.
The drawers are equipped with a mechanism that catches the drawer as it nears the closed position, pulling it shut gently and silently. This prevents slamming and helps protect the drawer fronts from wear over time.
Yes, this chest includes dust dividers between every drawer. This feature helps keep your clothing clean and prevents items from shifting between levels.
The Tavern finish is a richer, deeper tone that emphasizes the traditional look of the elm veneer. The Washed Elm finish is lighter and softer, offering a more contemporary, airy aesthetic while still highlighting the wood's natural grain and distressed details.
The legs are finished with metal ferrules, which provide a clean, traditional look. To protect your floors, we recommend placing felt pads under the feet, especially if you are moving the piece frequently on hardwood or tile.
To maintain the finish, simply dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or furniture polishes, as these can dull the glazed, distressed appearance of the elm veneer.
