Know before you buy
The chest is handcrafted from sustainably harvested solid cherry or walnut hardwood. Because it is made from natural solid wood, you can expect unique variations in grain patterns and color across each piece.
The drawers are equipped with full-extension, under-mounted slides that feature a soft-close mechanism. This allows the drawers to pull out completely for full access while closing silently and gently.
This piece features precise 45-degree miter joinery at the corners for a seamless look, while the drawer boxes are built using asymmetrical English dovetails, which are a hallmark of high-quality, durable furniture construction.
No, the chest is finished with a clear, non-toxic, low-maintenance lacquer. You can simply wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth to keep it clean, and it does not require regular oiling or polishing.
Because each chest is built to order in Vermont, your piece will be unique. The natural characteristics of the solid wood, such as color depth and grain orientation, will vary slightly from the images shown, reflecting the authentic nature of the material.
