Description

I have two Roos cedar chests.  One has the circle Roos logo with the rooster & 967 W. 20th St. Chicago address. This is is the plainer of the two and measures 21.5" tall, 39" wide & 18" deep.  It has the claw feet.

The 2nd appears to be a bit newer, it has a Sealtite label on the inside with Forest Park address and is a bit more ornate.  It measures 32" tall, 41" wide and 18" deep.
