Made in Altavista, Virginia, the chest combines classic mid-century styling with generous concealed storage and a wonderfully practical design.

The long, low case features five recessed panels across the front, framed by lighter oak with softly rounded corners. The warm wood grain and contrasting tones give the piece beautiful depth, while the tailored black upholstered cushion adds a handsome, modern touch. Four brass-tone casters make the substantial chest easy to reposition.

The hinged top opens to reveal a spacious aromatic cedar interior, ideal for storing blankets, linens and other household textiles. The original Lane manufacturer's marking and dated moth-damage guarantee remain inside, identifying the chest as style number 186950 E, with documentation dated October 31, 1966.

At just over 52 inches wide, this is a wonderfully versatile piece that works equally well as a bedroom bench, at the foot of a bed, or as additional seating and storage in a living room or entryway. See less
