After working for a while in the tool stockroom at my plant, my wife
decided that a wood tool chest would be a cool way to store her
jewelry (better than the frilly stuff that is usually sold for women).
Accordingly, I thought I'd get her one for her birthday coming up in a
couple of weeks. I can't afford a Gerstner (even their International
series), so I wanted to know if any of you guys has bought one of the
Grizzly oak chests. Specifically, I'm thinking about this one:

Opinions (c'mon, I know y'all got plenty of that!) or alternate
suggestions?

I've seen the HF versions of those and they aren't too bad looking,
but I wouldn't want to store a whole lot of weight in the drawers. I
also recommend waxing the drawers and glides prior to putting it into
service. Cheap stuff tends to chatter _horribly_, but I saw one of
those chatterboxes in an Etherized Allen Gallery, too. Shameful!

That box should work just fine for lightweight jewelry, Joe.

The HF box I have seen was pressed board under a cheap veneer.
It took me about 30 seconds to decide I did not need one.
Hopefully the Grizzly version is better.
