5-Drawer Two Tone Drop Front Chest

Description

We love the gorgeous sunburst effect on the 5-Drawer Two Tone Drop Front Chest. It's the result of hand-rubbed stain over premium mahogany and primavera veneers. Intricate inlays and bead molding create a wooden work of art. The table top has similar inlays for a tiger stripe effect. The top center drawer is a drop-front design, convenient for storing rigid items and for grabbing a quick writing surface. Constructed of extra-strong engineered hardwoods with antique distressing. The interior is finished as well, a sign of the best quality craftsmanship. This is a remarkably beautiful chest.

Construction of Hooker Furniture
Hooker Furniture chooses solid woods and select wood veneers over wood frames to construct their high-quality pieces. By using wood veneer, pieces can be given a decorative look that can't be achieved with the use of solid wood alone. The veneers add beautiful accents of color and design to the pieces, and are placed over engineered wood product for strength. All Hooker wood veneers are made from renewable resources and are located primarily on the flat surfaces of the furniture, such as the case tops and sides.

Each Hooker furniture piece is finished using up to 30 different steps, including 13 steps of hand-sanding and accenting. Physical distressing is done by hand. Pieces receive two to three coats of solid lacquer to create extra depth and add durability to the finish. Each case frame is assembled using strong mortise-and-tenon joints, which are then reinforced by mechanical fasteners and glue. On most designs, end panels extend to the floor to add strength and stability. Panel-style furniture features strong panel and frame construction to help avoid warping.

Your Hooker furniture features finished case interiors to eliminate unsightly "raw wood" and to help protect items you may store inside drawers or cabinets. Drawer parts are given a urethane or lacquer finish to create smooth action and durability. All drawers use dovetails, either English or French, for years of problem-free use. Drawer bottoms are constructed from plywood and attached to the plywood drawer sides via the use of hot glue and/or wood glue blocks. Most drawers are full width, depth, and height to provide the maximum amount of storage space.
