What's the Story Behind Hope Chests?

Hope Chests have a long and storied history like the Amish woodworkers who make them. 

If you are interested in the origins of the hope chest, here is an article we wrote on the History of Hope Chests. 

Can Cedar Repel Insects?

The oil of cedarwood not only creates a pleasant smell for you, but it can deter pests such as moths, cockroaches, and termites from bothering with your contents. For centuries, red cedar has been used to construct chests and furniture linings to protect clothing from intrusive and destructive pests. While humans find the sweet smell of cedar oil very pleasing, insects and pests find it to be wretched! 

Is a Cedar Chest Environmentally Friendly?

Cedar is biodegradable, recyclable, and renewable. It's not much of a competition when compared to a cheap, pressboard, glue-filled, fast-furniture, storage chest one might purchase to save a couple of bucks.

In the long run, those pieces don't last and they end up in the landfill, where the glues and formaldehyde are absorbed into our environment. You also have to buy another one. This cedar hope chest is built to be passed down for generations. When you think about it that way, it saves the environment and it saves you (and your family) a lot of money over the course of your lives.
