Chest Of Drawers and Hutch

Very well done. She will cherish it always. Does the top and bottom easily come apart for transport?

Looks like it will last several lifetimes!

I’ve got to agree with Charlie.

Looks very good

This is a very nice piece of furniture. It would have been nice to see the inside as well, but I completely understand your dilemma. My wife has an entire walk-in closet, two hallway closets and the second bedroom closet filled with her clothes, shoes, purses, etc. (some of which still have the price tags on them). I have 1/2 of another bedroom closet for my clothes. I gave up trying to understand their fixation on clothes long ago.

Thanks for the post.

Thank you all for your very kind comments, much appreciated. Yes the pieces come apart very easily for transport. My daughter is now a junior in college, so in a few years I’ll have to ship the pieces to wherever she decides to live.
Thanks for the nice comment on how long it will last. As a woodworker like the rest of you, I think it’s very important to put the time and effort into every piece as though it will last for several generations. It’s what keeps the craft of studio art furniture building alive.
Since I really feel I’m still an amateur it feels like this is just a start.

Hi Gerry

Beautiful looking unit. It sounds like your daughter has put it to good use. When my daughter was growing up she had plenty of room for her clothes, they were all on the floor. Dad being a neat freak, I was always on her to pick them up. Now that she is married and has her own home the house is spotless and always picked up. Go figure!

God Bless
