Know before you buy
The cedar bottom serves two functions: it provides a naturally fragrant interior and contains oils that act as a natural deterrent against moths and other insects, helping to protect your stored linens or keepsakes.
Yes, the chest is equipped with spring-loaded lid supports. These are designed to hold the lid open at any angle and prevent it from slamming shut unexpectedly.
Absolutely. Because the chest is constructed from solid hardwood with durable raised panel joinery, it is sturdy enough to function as a bench or a coffee table in addition to its primary role as storage.
The chest features a traditional, functioning lock that comes with a physical key. It provides a secure way to keep the lid closed and protect the contents inside.
The wood species vary primarily in grain pattern and hardness. Oak and Hickory are known for their prominent grain and high durability, while Cherry and Maple offer a smoother, more uniform appearance that darkens beautifully over time.
Yes, you can opt for a cedar sliding tray. This is a helpful addition if you want to keep smaller items organized and easily accessible at the top of the chest.
