Know before you buy
The chest is crafted from solid wood, allowing you to choose the specific wood species and finish that best suits your home. The back panel is also notably sturdy, featuring a 1/2-inch thick solid wood construction rather than thin plywood.
The drawers feature 5/8-inch thick dovetailed boxes, which provide high structural integrity and durability. They are equipped with full-extension glides, ensuring the drawers open smoothly and provide complete access to the contents stored in the back.
No, the Berwick Gentleman's Chest is delivered fully assembled. Because it is a solid wood piece, it is quite heavy, so we recommend having assistance available to help position it in your room.
The chest includes four standard drawers and two extra-wide, deep drawers. These larger drawers are specifically designed to accommodate bulkier items like sweaters, denim, or extra linens that wouldn't fit in the standard-sized drawers.
The flared legs are designed for aesthetic appeal and stability. While they provide a solid base, if your floors are significantly uneven, we recommend using small furniture shims or felt pads to ensure the chest remains perfectly level.
