The one I just bought looks very nice on the outside but the hidden craftsmanship is not. Small wood splinters would fall inside the drawers. I found they came from drawer above it. The rear of the wood sides of all the drawers were cut in a very rough fashion. It looked like they used a saw to cut tree limbs to trim the drawer backs. I sanded them lightly to remove the splinters. I still like the chest but I expected better from Gerstner.

There is a reason Gerstner has been around since 1906. Customer satisfaction and product excellence! There is no other wood chest that can compare to Gerstner Chests - period! These chests are built with heirloom status in mind, you know that they will last far beyond your lifetime. My great grandfathers Gerstner chest is still in great working condition and it's from the 1910's! I expect my new one will last just as long. Hats off to Gerstner for staying made in U.S.A. and keeping quality a top priority! The price is easily justified once you see how well the drawers slide and the fit and finish of all the parts - its a quality product and deserves it's top notch reputation. Their brochure and website claim to have "the finest chests built in America" - I think they have the finest chests built in the world! You will never be disappointed with a Gerstner chest. My Dad still won't let go of my great grandfathers - one of these days I hope to own it as well. If you are considering any wood chest purchase I strongly suggest you treat yourself to the "real thing" and buy a Gerstner Chest.
