A solid Gothic Revival oak kist with proper presence. Paneled all round with pointed arch detailing and a lift-up lid offering loads of storage inside — perfect as a blanket box, toy chest, hallway storage or even a coffee table if you’re brave.
Great colour, good weight to it, and the kind of piece that makes modern furniture look a bit flimsy.
