Reed & Barton Bristol Grande Flatware Chest

The chest is solidly constructed and the finish is as advertised delicate and pretty. The lining is great. However, the chest has only 1 drawer (not two as shown in the picture), and the slots assigned to the different components of the flatware set are very small. If you are buying this chest for a small, modern flatware set with no extra pieces (serving spoon, serving knife, etc) you may be ok. My set is an antique sterling silver flatware set with about 170 pieces and it just won't fit in this chest. Because the pieces are somewhat larger than most sets I specifically ordered one with two drawers... bummer, this one came with only one. The manufacturer told me they don't make the 2 drawer chest anymore and was happy to refund me for my purchase. He didn't seem to concern about the inaccuracy in this product's pictorial representation.

In conclusion...

1) good quality chest, solid construction, looks pretty.

2) it doesn't hold as many pieces as advertised.

3) it has only one drawer !!!

Nice silver chest. But this item is no longer made in the United States and the product desciption should be changed. Unfortunatey it is just one more American product now being made in China. The photo shows a chest with a cherry finish. The actual chest color is a rich, much darker mahogany as expected.

Buy Reed & Barton Bristol Grande Flatware Chest Now

I had looked all over for silver chests and I needed a large one because of all the extra serving pieces etc that I inherited from my Mother and my Grandmother. I wanted to keep my silver all in one place so I could store it in our home safe. This was the best deal for under $200.00 and shipping for free. I got it in three days after ordering it, and as the other reviewer said, the chest is darker than pictured, but I counted on that. It is a beautiful dark cherry wood and the first pull out drawer is slotted like the top part for forks, spoons etc, but the bottom drawer is separated into 5 different rows, which will be great for all my miscellaneous pieces. I am very happy with my purchase, as I have been with all the other Items I have gotten from Amazon!!! Now I have to go polish and put up my Silver!!! :-)

What I got was a one drawer instead of a two drawer chest. I tried to report it to Amazon, but they only referred me to the maker/seller who never called me back!!!!!!!!!!1

I have one full service for eight, and various pieces of about six other services. Every piece of silver passed down to me fits perfectly in this chest! Even a carving knife and fork, two ladles, and various serving pieces, too!
