Know before you buy
The cedar lining serves two purposes: it provides a pleasant, natural wood scent and acts as a mild, organic insect repellent, which is ideal for protecting stored wool blankets and linens.
Yes, the chest is equipped with a soft-close hinged lid. This mechanism ensures the lid closes slowly and securely, protecting fingers and preventing damage to the wood frame.
Absolutely. With its 1-inch thick top and Mission-style aesthetic, the chest is sturdy enough to function as a coffee table while providing hidden storage for extra throws or pillows.
All available wood options are solid hardwoods, meaning they will all offer excellent structural integrity. The primary difference between species like Oak, Cherry, or Walnut is the grain pattern, color, and overall hardness, allowing you to choose a wood that best suits your home's traffic and aesthetic.
The chest measures 48 inches wide by 20 inches deep by 20 3/4 inches high. The total storage capacity is approximately 6.77 cubic feet, which is slightly reduced to 5.41 cubic feet when the cedar lining is installed.
The chest features solid hardwood construction for the frame, top, and panels, while the backing is made of plywood to ensure structural stability and prevent warping over time.
