Know before you buy
The wood species vary primarily in grain pattern, hardness, and how they accept stain. For example, Oak and Quarter Sawn White Oak offer prominent, distinct grain patterns, while Brown Maple and Cherry provide a smoother, more uniform appearance. All options are 100% solid wood, ensuring structural integrity regardless of your aesthetic choice.
Yes, the chest features six adjustable shelves located behind the four doors. This allows you to customize the interior storage layout to accommodate different sizes of clothing or bedroom essentials.
The chest is equipped with soft-close door hinges and soft-close drawer slides. These mechanisms are designed to catch the door or drawer just before it closes, pulling it shut gently and silently to prevent slamming.
This piece is handcrafted as a solid, fully assembled unit. Because of its substantial size and weight, we recommend confirming that your room dimensions and entryways can accommodate the specific width and depth you select.
Dovetailing is a traditional joinery technique where the front and sides of the drawer are interlocked with wedge-shaped joints. This construction is significantly stronger than stapled or glued joints, ensuring the drawers can withstand years of daily use without pulling apart.
Yes, the Fern Mule Chest is available in two distinct footprints. You can select between a 67-inch or 75 1/4-inch width, with corresponding depth options of 22 3/4 inches or 24 inches, allowing you to choose the size that best fits your bedroom layout.
