Handmade Natural Fiber 25-inch Chest of Drawers (China)
My chest arrived in good time, and as soon as I slid it from the box I was heartily impressed. The degree of excellence of the weave is outstanding! This is a piece made by someone who knows what he is doing and loves what he does. It is a tight, smooth perfect weave made with quality fiber, the weave wrapping seemlessly into the interior of the unit, and around the drawer edges.
The back is as beautifully done as the front, and the little feet are solid and attractive. The drawers, lined with smooth soft cloth, are small, as is the overall size of the chest (I would have preferred a slightly taller unit) but I didn't buy this for storage, but as an accent piece to place next to my rocker, to hold a lamp, so the small slightly snug fitting drawers are no problem for me. If you intend to use this as a utilitarian piece, think again.. Although the workmanship is up to daily abuse, the sticky tug of the drawers will annoy you. So, buy this chest for its beauty. It is truly a work of artistic craftsmanship.
