Item History & Price
This ROOS Sweetheart cedar chest is in excellent original condition with only minor wear and rubs from age. The chest has what is called a "waterfall" top and measures 43" long x 18½" wide x 28" high. Previous owner added high quality casters for easy movement. Without the casters the piece would stand 25½" high. The lift-out shelf on the inside is 40½..." long x 10" wide x 2" deep. The bottom draw is 34¾" long x 16¼ wide X 3½" deep. Chest, shelf and draw all are cedar lined.
