Know before you buy
This chest features 5/8-inch thick solid wood drawer boxes joined with traditional dovetail construction. This method is significantly more durable than stapled or glued joints, ensuring the drawers can handle heavy daily use without loosening over time.
The dual under-mount glides are designed for a smooth, quiet operation. They feature a soft-close mechanism that catches the drawer near the end of its travel, pulling it shut gently to prevent slamming.
Yes, while the piece comes standard with black knobs and rope molding, the hardware is customizable. You can select different finishes or styles to better suit your personal aesthetic.
Maple and Brown Maple are your best choices for a smooth, consistent look. These species have a tight grain pattern that takes stain very evenly, unlike Oak or Hickory, which have more prominent, textured grain patterns.
The upper unit includes two adjustable shelves. This allows you to customize the interior height to accommodate taller items like folded sweaters, denim, or storage bins.
Yes, the design is specifically intended for smaller footprints. By utilizing a vertical storage layout with seven full-size drawers and two smaller drawers, it maximizes storage capacity without requiring excessive floor space.
