Description
We are proud to offer the largest version of our custom-ordered Military Retirement Chest. We’ve taken the original military chest design and made it even bigger. This version is deeper, wider and longer to fit an even larger display on the lid.
This Military chest is made from solid wood, we use premium select pine, as it contains less knots and is smoother in texture. This version of the chest measures approximately 26” long x 15″ wide x 12” tall.
These measurements allows for the versions that include a 3” lid/flag display, another 2-3” shadow box to sit inside, and another 6 or so inches underneath to store other items.
Please provide us (at check out) with the Rank and Name you want written on the top of the box (if any). Also, please provide the service component (Marines, Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard or Space Force) if you’d like that added as well.
🎨AVAILABLE COLORS🎨
