How heavy exactly is this chest? This information is not on the website...

It feels around 25-30 pounds to me.

You got it almost exactly. UPS says the shipping weight is 28.90 lbs

:( Lucky Americans getting the best stuff - I would have loved to get one but costco in the UK does not have it.

Mcgeechan...I'd get one for you and ship it to you but you'd probably have to mortgage your house to pay for the shipping...its that heavy.

Got tired of looking at this deal, and wishing I could pull the trigger ... so I pulled the trigger.

Jaybeez...you won't regret it...it's that nice. And definitely a steal for what they're charging.

I ordered one after reading about it on this thread - it got delivered this evening. It's beautifully made, and an astonishingly good deal at $43 with shipping and tax for me in California.

 

Bit larger than I expected, but that's my own fault for not reading the dimensions before buying it.

Thanks for the head's-up on this. Just ordered 2.

Free shipping on this is icing on the cake.

This is perfect timing! I recently ordered two of those pen slotter trays from Gary and when I saw them, my first thought was "If I had more of these I could convert my wooden tool box into a pen chest." So since then, I keeping opening my toolbox and wondering where I would put my tools. So when I saw this, I ordered it. I think it is nicer than my toolbox too. Thanks for the heads up! So anybody who has theirs and the pen slotter trays already, how many of those trays do I need for the chest? I'd like to order them before the chest comes in.

Dang it! There's goes another $43 bucks (high sales tax). Fortunately(?), I needed to go to Costco for some other stuff anyway. Like a job application.

 

Sigh.

My ink-swap post(s) become out of date eventually. My signature is always current. If you want to swap some ink, here's what I have: Diamine: Ancient Copper, Oxblood, Poppy Red, Red Dragon, Sherwood Green; Iroshizuku: Kon-peki, Ku-jaku, Take-sumi; Noodlers: 54th Mass, BSB, Purple Martin, X-Feather, Widow Maker; Private Reserve: Blue Suede. I'm partial to highly saturated inks, but am open to suggestions. PM if interested.

I got mine today too, and fortunately it fit perfectly where I wanted to put it. All of my bottled ink fit in the middle deep drawer in the center except for the 4oz bottle of Noodler's It would have fit too, but the eye dropper made it too tall. It does exude a strong odor, but I'm sure that will dissipate with time. Now I need to figure out the dimensions so I can order the pen slots. Its so NICE! :D

I've loved the original that this is "modeled" after, the Gerstner chest, for a long time as a woodworker. But they're so expensive. They're definitely worth it, and if taken care of will last several lifetimes, but I could never justify it.

 

Well, guess what I got myself for Father's day? Don't know just where I'll put it, but I'll find a place. Couldn't resist the price and it looks a step or two above the really cheap Chinese knock-off's I've seen for years.

Oh thank you thank you thank you. I've been waiting for the $99.00 price to go down, and was just thinking that it was only going to go up.

Mine came today and it looks very good. Larger than I had imagined but I'll fill it up soon enough.

 

Thanks again for the heads up

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
