Birch Lane Monterey Chest

No, the Monterey Chest arrives fully assembled and ready to use. You will only need to unpack it and place it in your desired location.

The drawers are designed for a handcrafted aesthetic, so they do not feature modern metal ball-bearing glides. They operate on a wood-on-wood slide mechanism, which is typical for this style of artisanal furniture.

The finish is a solid, painted black. It provides a clean, uniform look that covers the wood grain, emphasizing the texture of the rattan and wicker detailing rather than the wood underneath.

While it is categorized as a dresser, its coastal design and compact 38-inch width make it a versatile piece. It works beautifully as an accent chest in a hallway, entryway, or living area where you need extra storage.

Dust the piece regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For the wicker sections, you can use a vacuum attachment with a brush to remove debris from the weave, and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the painted finish.
