Amish Gentleman's Chests

Amish Gentleman's Chests

Shop solid wood gentleman's chests handcrafted to order by Amish woodworkers in Ohio and Indiana. A gentleman's chest pairs drawers with a cabinet section behind doors, giving you a mix of drawer storage and shelf space in one bedroom piece.

What Is a Gentleman's Chest?

A gentleman's chest is a chest of drawers with a door-covered upper section, usually holding shelves or additional drawers, above a row of full-width drawers. It is a good fit for folded clothing, sweaters, accessories and items that don't fit well in a standard dresser drawer.

Gentleman's Chest vs. Dresser vs. Chifferobe

A dresser is wide and low with drawers only. A gentleman's chest is taller, with doors over part of the storage. A chifferobe adds a hanging-clothes section, so it works more like a small wardrobe.

Styles

Wood, Finish and Sizing
