Guide to Cedar Chests

During the wedding and anniversary season we have several styles and sizes of chests available for immediate shipping. We also have gift cards available for last minute shoppers. Please call us with any questions, or for further clarification at 1-888-959-8899.

Add a custom plaque for your chest, with your choice of corner style, finish, and text, when you order your chest.

We also offer custom laser engraving, which can add photographic imagery as well as text to the wood. The image to the right shows a photo engraved in maple with a natural finish, which is inlaid on oak with a blackened finish. This image also shows text that is laser engraved in the oak.

If you'd like to commission an artist to paint your chest before adding the finish, we can help you with that as well.

Call 1-888-959-8899 to get assistance with personalizing your chest.

(Please note: These are just estimates. To provide accurate interior measurements we would need to discuss the details of the specific chest you're interested in with the craftsman. There are simply too many variables with all of the styles, sizes and options we have available.) We can also customize the size of the chest.

What kind of custom work do you do?

We can accommodate most custom requests that do not change the overall character of the design, or compromise its strength and integrity.

Custom sized chests are priced based on the cost of materials, there is no custom design fee. We can create a chest up to 80" in length in hardwood, or up to 50" in length in 100% solid cedar.

We can also make simple modifications to the design: removing the legs from a chest, replacing the handles with metal hardware, etc.

"After picking up our shaker cedar chest ... my wife and I eagerly moved the chest to our bedroom, and we quickly unwrapped it. All I could say was 'Wow!' My wife was a little more eloquent. Her comment was something to the effect of 'This makes that other cedar chest look like a cardboard coffin!' As I noted in a previous email, we had previously purchased (and returned) two cedar chests from (Company Name Removed) that were seriously lacking in quality.

No such problem here. I would say that the chest is exactly as pictured on your web site. But that wouldn't be quite accurate. It is MUCH more beautiful than could ever be depicted in a photograph. The wood actually seems to glow. We are also very impressed with the construction. Not only is the chest constructed from solid wood throughout, the boards utilized seem to be thicker than I've typically seen in 'solid wood' furniture sold through retail chains."
