River Falls White Chest

Yes. This piece is crafted from oak solids and oak veneers, finished in a coastal-inspired white. Oak is a dense hardwood known for its natural strength and resistance to wear. The combination of solid wood and high-quality veneers provides structural stability that helps the piece better manage the minor expansion and contraction often seen in varying humidity levels found in coastal or tropical regions.

A chest, like this 5-drawer model, is designed for vertical storage. While a dresser is typically wider and takes up more floor space, this chest stands 58 inches tall with a footprint of only 45 inches wide. This makes it an ideal solution for smaller bedrooms or urban apartments where maximizing square footage is essential without sacrificing storage capacity.

To ensure a safe environment, especially in homes with children or pets, we strongly recommend anchoring any tall furniture to the wall. This chest has a vertical "tallboy" profile, and while it is built for stability, using an anti-tip kit provides essential protection against accidental tip-overs.

This chest features English dovetail joints on all five drawers. Dovetail joinery is a premier indicator of furniture quality, as the interlocking "teeth" create a mechanical bond that is significantly stronger and more durable than simple staples or glue. This construction ensures the drawers can withstand daily use and the weight of heavier garments like denim or winter sweaters for years to come.

To maintain the "River Falls" aesthetic, we recommend regular dusting with a soft, dry lint-free cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth with a mild water-and-soap solution, followed immediately by a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or furniture polishes with silicone, as these can build up over time and dull the weathered pewter finished hardware and the crisp white oak finish.

The bottom drawer of this chest is specially designed with a dust-proofing shield. This internal barrier prevents "up-drafting" dust and lint from the floor from entering the drawer compartment. This is an excellent feature for storing seasonal items, linens, or delicate clothing that you want to keep pristine and allergen-free between uses.
