Size
One of our sizes is sure to fit that special place
in your home. Chests range from 24" to 72" long, with custom fit always
an option. Select the above link to view an array to choose from.
We offer custom heirloom cedar chests made for generations
of appreciation by craftsmen with enough pride in their work to offer
a lifetime satisfaction guarantee
on all their furniture pieces.
Hardware
A gleam of brass can add casual elegance to your home.
Personalize your chest with
an oval or rectangular brass
nameplate, engraved with an enduring sentiment or name to create a
unique gift. Secure your chest with a lock made in England with your
choice of an antique or bright brass escutcheon. Add a pair of brass lifts to handle your chest
more easily.
Custom Options
Let us make your hope chest a "one-of-a-kind" heirloom by adding hand carving or laser engraving wherever you choose.
Dear Mr. Andersen,
Words fail me. My wife simply loved her cedar chest.
I don't write companies except to complain. Never. Never ever. Till now.
Thank you for producing such a wonderful product.
Sincerely, Ens. M. Ray Anderson, Norfolk, VA

Style
Begin
to design the look you want.
Our clients' ideas become our inspiration. We can only mention a few options here: a chest base with feet or molding; the box with raised or
reeded panels; a wooden top, such as the French
style or cushioned
top in one of our tapestries or your own! Click above for a virtual
showroom of woodworking possibilities!
Interior
Even the interiors can be customized to maximize your
chest's usefulness. Aromatic cedar lining provides that pungent aroma
that is pleasant yet repels insects. Chests can be fully lined or
have just the floor or a tray made of cedar or no cedar at all. Unless specifically
requested, most of our hope chests have no finish on the interiors.
Each of our chests is signed and
dated by D. Andersen, mrcedar himself! Our commitment to quality
makes your cedar chest special for your loved ones for generations.
How
to Order
Pick and choose chest details and see how each detail affects
the basic price for the size of chest you start with. To have all
your questions answered, call Kathy or Dale toll free at 1-888-586-5544.
Usually a payment of half down is made with a custom
order, but other arrangements can be made. The balance is due before shipping.
So look around: then contact
us and we can chat about what might be best for you. |
Wood
Choose from over 25 species for your solid wood chest.
To help you select, we've grouped them by color, durability, appearance,
etc.
We offer you fine craftsmanship; every board in each cedar hope chest deserves
individual artistic evaluation. Our customers tell us their patience is well
rewarded by the quality of these collectors' pieces. Plan ahead. Order
early; anything this good is worth the wait. Call "Mr. Cedar" at 1-888-586-5544 for our current lead time. In a hurry?

Finish
Nearly all our chests have hand rubbed Velvit Oil, a specially
formulated product that stains, fills, seals, protects, and beautifies all
in one coat. Ours receive two coats giving more luster and depth to the wood,
then a Lemon Oil polish is rubbed in. Oil finish resists alcohol, hot
liquids, common stains and will never crack or peel. Occasionally a
client asks for a whitewash
or other look. We aim to please.
Ask for samples to
help you choose what looks best in your home. Actual wood pieces will
be sent for $25, which will be refunded or applied to the purchase price when
the samples are returned.
