Know before you buy
Yes, the cedar lining is naturally aromatic and helps repel moths and other pests, making it an excellent choice for storing wool blankets, sweaters, and heirloom linens.
The chest is equipped with a specialized soft-close lid support that prevents the heavy lid from slamming shut, significantly reducing the risk of pinched fingers.
Because the Wister Blanket Chest is finished on all sides, it is perfectly suitable for placement at the foot of a bed, in a hallway, or as a standalone piece in the center of a room.
All options are 100% solid hardwood, meaning they are built for heirloom-level durability. While the structural integrity remains consistent across wood types, choosing a harder wood like oak or cherry will offer better resistance to dents and scratches compared to softer varieties.
To preserve the wood's luster, dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners. If the surface becomes dull over time, a high-quality furniture polish or wax specifically designed for solid wood can be applied sparingly.
