The Heritage range was positioned as a step above the mass market, and its pieces are known for solid timber construction, dovetailed drawers and a plain, unadorned design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis lowboy is built entirely from solid Tasmanian myrtle, including the internal shelf. It has four drawers stacked on the left, each with an oval timber pull, and a single cupboard door on the right that opens to a removable shelf. The cupboard locks, and this piece retains its original key. It stands on tapered, splayed feet. The timber is a warm, honey tone, and the grain runs cleanly across the drawer fronts and the door.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDimensions: 91 cm W x 51 cm D x 107.5 cm H.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt this size it suits a bedroom as a chest of drawers, a hallway, or a lounge wall as a low cabinet.
