Cherry Lancaster Chest

Our Lancaster cedar chests are created from solid hardwood, and are designed to last. Each chest is handcrafted individually by an Amish craftsman.

Our chests are shipped fully assembled, and are lined with aromatic red cedar.

To help you decide on a wood and a finish, individual wood samples and wood sample color collections are available for purchase.

Lancaster Cedar Chest, Solid Wood Construction

Each chest is created with 100% solid cherry on the front, top and sides. The bottom and rear panels are finished with solid red cedar. This rear cedar panel generally faces the wall or bed. A finished rear panel option is also available, where the rear panel is created from solid cherry to match the front of the chest (see under 'Product Options').

The exterior wood is finished to preserve and protect the chest. The interior wood is left unfinished, making the opening of your cedar chest a very pleasurable experience. Cedar adds a sweet, pleasant scent to any room.

Genuine Solid Hardwood: Our lancaster cedar chests are created from 100% genuine hardwoods. There is no pine, plywood filler, pressed wood, "select hardwoods" or veneers used in our chests.

Repair: If the cedar chest is dinged, scratched or gouged via accident then your chest can be sanded and refinished. This is the benefit of solid hardwood. Our cedar chests are very solidly constructed and are intended to be a living part of your home and family, to be handed down from one generation to the next for many years to come.

Safety Features

Our cedar chests include twin safety latches, which lock in place to hold open the lid. This allows for easier access to the interior of the chest. (Our small and medium chests require only one latch).

Our chests are crafted without a lock, and are thus created to be child-safe. However, you may also choose to add a lock to your new chest. This optional lock cannot be turned without a key, ensuring that the cedar chest cannot be accidentally locked from the inside.

Our 100% Quality Guarantee.

Each chest is created by hand by Amish master craftsmen and is carefully inspected individually prior to shipping to assure its quality.

To assure this quality, we offer a full money back guarantee and a full one year warranty against defects on our cedar chests.

Custom Sized Cedar Chests

We can also create custom sized chests to nearly any size, including chests up to 80" in length. The price will be roughly proportional to the amount of materials needed to create the chest.

Chests larger than around 50" x 22" x 22" are too large for UPS, and will need to ship via freight service.
