POS chest. I have a cedar chest.  It's gorgeous and weighs a ton.  Puts that thing to shame.

Why would a cedar chest weigh a ton?? Are you sure it's cedar?



There is one like this one on ebay for $250.00 The seller is advertising it as a cedar chest so I tried to contact the seller and tell him it was not cedar but I couldn't. Ebay is so afraid someone is going to buy the item and leave ebay out of the loop they make it impossible to actually speak to a seller.
So I tried to report the ad for inaccurate description and I could not even do that

Good question. I think so.  Maybe it's just lined with cedar?  Don't know.  But it's a beautiful piece.

The one I'm talking about was particle board. Yours should smell like cedar.

It did when I got it. I opened it the other day and didn't really catch the odor of cedar at all...so...don't know.  But it's not particle board. Maybe I'll get a picture of it.

 If I showed a picture of the fake one no one could tell if it's cedar or not. The best way to tell if something is plastic is to take a small scraping and burn it. Sometimes it's REALLY hard to tell if something is bone, ivory or plastic.
Of course plastic has an unmistakable odor. Bone or ivory will smell like burnt hair and we all know that odor.
