Mill Valley II Cherry Finish Chest

This chest is designed with a vertical profile, standing 51 inches tall with a compact 36-inch width. This "tallboy" configuration is an ideal storage solution for smaller primary suites or urban apartments where floor space is at a premium. By utilizing vertical height rather than horizontal width, it provides five spacious drawers for clothing organization without obstructing walkways or requiring a large footprint.

Built with birch veneers and reinforced with dovetail joinery, this chest is designed for the rigors of a high-traffic household. Because of its 51-inch height, we strongly recommend utilizing an anti-tip kit to anchor the unit securely to the wall, a standard safety practice for tall bedroom furniture to prevent accidental tipping and ensure a safe environment for children and pets.

Yes, the top drawer of this chest is specifically designed with a soft felt lining. This protective layer is ideal for storing delicate items such as jewelry, watches, or fine hosiery, as it prevents snagging and protects against scratches. The remaining four drawers provide ample space for bulkier items like sweaters, jeans, and linens.

This chest features high-quality French and English dovetail drawer construction. Dovetail joinery is a hallmark of superior furniture craftsmanship, involving interlocking wedge-shaped joints that provide exceptional strength and resistance to being pulled apart. This ensures that the drawers remain sturdy and functional even with heavy daily use over many years.

To preserve the rich cherry finish, our experts recommend dusting the furniture regularly with a clean, soft cloth. For minor stains, use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water, ensuring the surface is dried immediately afterward. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or wax polishes, as these can build up over time and dull the integrity of the birch veneers.

This chest features a timeless traditional design characterized by classic molding details, bracket feet, and antique silver drawer pulls. The rich cherry finish adds a warm, sophisticated element that pairs beautifully with other pieces from the Mill Valley II collection, such as the matching dresser or nightstand. For a cohesive look, it also complements neutral earth tones like beige or cream and coordinates well with classic metallic accents.
