Hooker Furniture Archivist 3 Drawer Bachelors Chest

The old-world style of the Hooker Furniture Archivist 3 Drawer Bachelors Chest is hard to deny. This grand piece features bold curves across a wide face with three deep drawers. Each drawer is crafted with dovetail construction and fitted with teardrop-pulls on metal back plates with faux key-locks. The body is built using solid rubberwood and pecan veneers that show off a beautiful and complicated grain. The upper drawer features a drop-in felt lining while the lower drawer is lined with cedar to deter insects. This piece is also fitted with a cord clip and dimmer switch that allows it to seamlessly integrate into the function of our modern spaces.

The Beauty and Benefits of Rubberwood
Prized as an environmentally friendly wood, rubberwood makes use of trees that have been cut down at the end of their latex-producing life cycle. The trees are removed by hand and replaced with new seedlings. In the past, felled rubber trees were either burned on the spot or used as fuel for locomotive engines, brick firing, or latex curing. Now the wood is used in the manufacture of high-end furniture. It is valued for its dense grain, stability, attractive color, and acceptance of different finishes.
