A super sweet, former co-worker of mine made this gorgeous wooden chest for me. I can't remember if it came already stained and sealed, or if I had to do that myself, but either way it's one of the nicest things anyone has ever given me. And lest you think I was "special," he created several wood pieces and gave them to all of the girls at work--strictly as a way to share something he enjoyed doing (woodworking) with people who loved his art. Currently it's used to house most of my yarn stash and is proudly displayed in our living area. I definitely see this as a piece of heirloom furniture that will hopefully be passed down from generation to generation.
