Why Choose the Merlin Chest from Sideboards and Things?
At just 19 inches deep, the chest fits against a wall or in narrow hallways without protruding into walkways, making it ideal for bedrooms where bulky furniture overwhelms the space. The raised gold metal base elevates the piece off the floor, creating an airy silhouette and simplifying cleaning underneath. Pair it with nightstands from our All Furniture collection, or position it in an entryway topped with a lamp and tray for a cohesive drop zone that stores scarves, keys, and mail. Flank the chest with a mirror above or place a storage basket below the base for seasonal items--the vertical fluting on each drawer front adds texture without fuss, and the sustainable mahogany construction ensures this piece will serve your home for years.
