This cedar chest is made to be a useful yet novelty part of a home's furnishings. It features a hinge-close lid and a metal front latch. Its pedestal feet lift it SOME inches off of the ground, while simultaneously elevating the style of the piece. A medium stain highlights the intricate wood grain and complements the warm design of the piece. The cedar wood is designed to deter moths, and a moveable shelf sits just below the top, making this chest an ideal storage area for spare clothes, blankets, or linens. 
The piece is in good condition. It does have splits in the sides of the wood, but the chest is still both beautiful and practical, able to easily store cloth, shoes or other items in a conveniently accessible space.
