Augustine White Lift Top Chest

This chest features dovetail drawer construction, a time-honored joinery technique where interlocking "tails" and "pins" create a superior bond. Unlike simple stapled or glued joints, dovetail construction ensures the drawers remain structurally sound and resistant to pulling apart even with heavy daily use. Complemented by smooth-gliding hardware, these drawers are engineered for effortless access and long-term stability.

To preserve the "soulful warmth" of the ivory-brush glaze, our care experts recommend regular dusting with a clean, soft cloth. In humid climates where moisture can sometimes cause drawers to stick or finishes to dull, it is vital to avoid harsh chemical polishes. Based on our material expertise, a soft cloth slightly dampened with mild soap and water is the best way to safely remove surface marks without damaging the protective glaze.

For any tall furniture piece, especially one standing over 50 inches, safety is paramount. We strongly recommend utilizing the included anti-tip hardware to anchor the chest securely to a wall stud. This is an essential industry-standard precaution to prevent accidental tip-overs, ensuring the piece remains a safe and stable addition to your household.

The lift-top design serves as a hidden multi-functional station, opening to reveal an integrated accessory organizer and a framed glass mirror. This is an excellent feature for high-traffic lifestyles, providing a dedicated space to organize jewelry, watches, or daily essentials. By tucking these items away, you keep the top surface clutter-free while maintaining an efficient morning routine.

Absolutely. This chest is specifically designed to maximize storage on a minimal footprint. Standing 52 inches tall with a width of just 38 inches, it prioritizes vertical storage over horizontal floor space. This makes it a superior choice for urban apartments or smaller bedrooms where a traditional wide dresser might impede walkway clearance or overwhelm the room’s layout.

Yes, the chest is built with five spacious drawers and a total depth of 18 inches. This depth allows for the storage of larger, folded items like heavy knit sweaters, denim, or extra linens. The smooth-glide mechanism is particularly beneficial here, ensuring that even when a drawer is fully loaded with bulkier textiles, it still opens and closes with minimal effort.
