Know before you buy
The cedar bottom option features a solid wood base with a cedar floor, while the full cedar lining covers the interior walls and floor entirely. Choosing the full lining provides a stronger, more consistent cedar aroma and enhanced natural moth-repelling properties throughout the entire chest.
Yes, the chest is equipped with anti-slam hinges designed to prevent the lid from dropping suddenly. This mechanism ensures the lid closes slowly and securely, significantly reducing the risk of pinched fingers.
Consider the intended placement and the volume of items you plan to store. The 29-inch model works well as an accent piece or at the foot of a twin bed, while the 46-inch Jumbo version is ideal for storing bulky items like heavy quilts or multiple comforters in larger bedrooms.
Each chest is handcrafted from solid wood and finished with high-quality stains that protect the surface from everyday wear. While the wood is durable, we recommend using coasters if you plan to place drinks or decorative items on the lid to prevent water rings.
The natural cedar aroma may become less potent as the wood ages. If you notice the scent fading, you can lightly sand the interior cedar surfaces with fine-grit sandpaper to reopen the wood pores and refresh the natural fragrance.
