Know before you buy
The chest measures 43 1/2 inches wide by 20 inches deep and stands 36 inches high. Given its 191-pound weight, it is a substantial piece that provides a sturdy presence in a bedroom or hallway.
Yes, the Byron Serpentine Chest includes an anti-tip kit. We strongly recommend installing this hardware to secure the unit to your wall, especially in homes with children or pets.
The piece features a rich, medium brown mahogany finish that has been lightly distressed. This intentional aging process gives the chest the character of a well-maintained antique rather than a brand-new, high-gloss piece.
The chest is crafted from a combination of acacia solids and walnut swirl veneers. The drawer fronts specifically utilize swirl mahogany veneers framed with quarter mahogany to create the signature serpentine look.
The serpentine front is a design feature that follows the flowing, curved lines of the chest's top and frame. While it adds significant visual depth and elegance, it does mean the interior drawer dimensions will follow the exterior curve rather than being perfectly rectangular.
