Apothecary Chest

There's no need to limit yourself to storing ancient homeopathic herbs and tonics in the Homelegance Apothecary Chest. This contemporary piece actually has three large drawers instead of nine little ones, as the clever design would have you believe. Great for use anywhere in the home, this classic chest is made of rubber wood veneers in a dark cherry finish. Each drawer front has three simple round knobs to establish the apothecary chest look. You can add functional, modern storage and charming Old World appeal at the same time with this chest.

The Beauty and Benefits of Rubberwood
Hailing from the maple family of trees, the rubber tree is used in the manufacture of high-end furniture. It is valued for its dense grain, minimal shrinkage, attractive color and acceptance of different finishes. It is also prized as an "environmentally friendly" wood, as it makes use of trees that have been cut down at the end of their latex-producing cycle.
