Amish Classic Waterfall Cedar Chest

The Cedar Bottom option features a cedar floor with the interior sides finished to match your chosen wood species. A Full Cedar Lining covers all interior surfaces in aromatic cedar, which provides maximum moth-repelling benefits and a stronger cedar scent throughout the chest.

The chest is equipped with specialized safety hinges that prevent the lid from dropping suddenly. They allow the lid to close slowly and gently, which protects fingers from injury and prevents the wood from being damaged by a heavy impact.

While all available wood options are high-quality hardwoods, they vary in density and grain pattern. For example, Hickory and Quarter Sawn White Oak are exceptionally hard and resistant to wear, while Brown Maple offers a smoother, more uniform grain that takes stains very evenly.

Yes, the chest includes a lockable lid mechanism. This provides a secure way to store heirlooms, important documents, or sentimental items while keeping them protected from unauthorized access.

Over time, the natural oils in the cedar may dry out, causing the scent to fade. You can lightly sand the interior wood with fine-grit sandpaper to open the pores and release the aromatic oils, effectively refreshing the cedar scent.

The waterfall edge is a classic design feature characterized by a smooth, rounded transition between the top lid and the front panel. While it is primarily chosen for its elegant, seamless look, the rounded profile also eliminates sharp corners, making it a safer option for high-traffic areas in your home.
