Know before you buy
The cedar lining provides a natural, aromatic scent and helps regulate moisture levels inside the chest. This makes it an ideal environment for storing delicate items like blankets, linens, or wool sweaters.
Yes, the chest is equipped with soft-close lid supports. These are designed to prevent the lid from slamming shut, ensuring it closes slowly and safely.
Yes, the lid features a built-in lock. This allows you to keep your stored items secure while maintaining the clean, Shaker-style aesthetic of the piece.
Each wood species offers a unique grain pattern and hardness level. For example, hardwoods like Hickory or Hard Maple are exceptionally durable, while Cherry or Walnut offer distinct, rich color tones that will darken beautifully over time.
The chest is paneled on all sides, meaning it is finished and polished to look great from every angle. You can confidently place it at the foot of a bed, in a hallway, or as a standalone piece in the center of a room.
Both models share the same depth and height of 20 1/2 inches, so the primary difference is the length. The 48-inch model provides significantly more horizontal surface area, which is better suited for storing larger quilts or longer heirloom items.
