Defined Distinction | Chest

The Defined Distinction Chest by Durham is a solid wood chest with a contemporary style. This six drawer chest features cedar lined drawer bottoms and soft close drawer glides to keep your items protected and secure. The stainless steel base is also available as a wooden base if specified when ordering. The quality of Durham pieces is ensured in the fine features including the fortress finished clear coating that resists heat and stains. Superior construction techniques are evident in the cabinet corners braced with blocks that are screwed and glued in place to add rigidity and prevent racking. A flush wooded back panel is framed by the top, sides and bottom to provide an added structural strength. An English dovetail joint connects the drawer front and back to the drawer side. It remains tight and snug after thousands of pulls. Smooth drawer interiors are sanded and sealed with coats of clear finish to protect your most delicate items. The wood-on-wood treated drawer guides provide years of quiet, smooth service.
