I'd been wanting a silver chest for years and finally broke down and bought this one -it looked like the right color and reviews were positive. I was not disappointed! It is a lovely piece of design and woodwork, heavy but not massive, with a gorgeous finish, the drawer pulls smoothly and the top fits snugly. It feels like a very solid piece of work, nothing loose or shabby about it. I cleaned all my silver flatware and installed it in its new home and I don't even mind that I have to go to the dining room to get a spoon instead of pulling it out of the drawer in the kitchen! The silvercloth lining protects the finish and makes the polished silver look positively brilliant whenever I open the chest. A great purchase at a very reasonable price (Amazon's was lower than anywhere else I found this chest).

Honest reviews on Reed & Barton Bristol Flatware Chest
The exterior of the Reed & Barton Bristol Flatware Chest was in good condition. However, the slide-out drawer would not work. I finally got it loose and the wood was raw and untreated in order to make it slide. I had to wax all of the surfaces that the drawer contacted. It still didn't slide very smoothly, but I kept the chest.
I'm wondering if these items are "seconds", and hesitate to order from vendors through Amazon.com

As others have said, this is a beautifully crafted chest! The finish is perfect. The lid stays up even with heavy knives in it. The drawer opens smoothly and all the edges and seams and corners and . . . are perfect. I can stack 12 forks or spoons in one of the slots in the top section and about 10 forks or 8 big serving spoons in one of the 8 drawer slots. (My pattern is pretty flat.) If you don't have bulky flatware, this could easily hold 24 place settings--though 1/2 the knives would be floating around in the drawer. My 12 place settings plus serving pieces look a little sparse in there, but it is so nice to have them completely organized and not jumbled together. I am looking forward to the tarnish protection my old box didn't provide. This chest was discounted. I am thrilled with the value and would definitely recommend it.
