Wood Chests

Luxury Wood Chests: Frequently Asked Questions

​What is the difference between a wood chest and a chest of drawers?

​While both provide exceptional storage, they feature entirely different structural designs:

• ​Wood Chests (Storage Trunks / Blanket Boxes): These are traditional deep boxes with a single, large lift-up lid. They are designed for storing bulky items like heavy winter duvets, spare blankets, luggage, or seasonal items, and double beautifully as accent furniture.
• ​Chests of Drawers: These feature vertically or horizontally stacked sliding compartments on runners, designed primarily for organized clothing storage.

​Where are the best places to style a solid wood chest in my home?

​Our artisan wood chests are incredibly versatile pieces that can anchor several rooms:

• ​The Bedroom: Positioned gracefully at the foot of a bed frame to act as a classic blanket box or hope chest while creating a boutique-hotel aesthetic.
• ​The Living Room: Styled as a rustic or mid-century coffee table that offers massive hidden storage for board games, throws, and media accessories.
• ​The Hallway: Placed beneath a luxury wall mirror to serve as a stunning statement entryway piece and a tidy hideaway for winter coats and shoes.

​What premium timbers are used to construct your wooden chests?

​We place a premium on natural character, longevity, and structural weight. The majority of our luxury chests are individually handcrafted from 100% solid hardwoods, including premium sustainable mango wood (finished in smooth, warm oak-ish tones), rich characterful chestnut, and deep walnut. These natural grains are frequently accented with handcrafted elements like hand-woven rattan panelling, geometric ironwork, or heavy-duty brass latches and handles.

​Are your wood chests fitted with safety hinges?

​Yes, safety and smooth operation are essential to premium furniture design. Our large wooden storage chests and blanket boxes are equipped with heavy-duty safety lift-up hinges or hydraulic soft-close struts. These mechanisms are designed to support the weight of the solid timber lid, holding it open securely while you arrange items inside and preventing it from slamming down unexpectedly on fingers.

​Do your wooden chests arrive fully assembled?

​To give you a completely seamless experience, the vast majority of our solid wood chests and storage trunks arrive fully built by master craftsmen straight to your door. They are securely encased in heavy-duty, mail-order standard protective packaging to eliminate transit risks. In most cases, you simply need to unpack the unit and place it in your room of choice—no home tools or complicated instructions required.
