The bachelor chest was a distinctive feature of Georgian furniture, usually made of walnut, oak, or oak veneer. The key feature of the bachelor chest is its fold-over top which can turn it into a writing table, supported by runners or knobbed slides (lopers). Bachelor chests in the 18th century contained a brushing slide that can be pulled out for writing or laying out clothes. It was during this period that the bun feet of the bachelor chest were converted to bracket feet for aesthetic purposes. The handles of the bachelor chest drawers used to be made of brass and contained escutcheons, usually with swan neck pulls. The frame and inner materials of the bachelor chest were made with poplar and pine.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_Difference_Between_the_Bachelor_Chest_From_Other_Types_of_Chests\"><\/span>What is the Difference Between the Bachelor Chest From Other Types of Chests?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The bachelor chest is a multifunctional, space-saving, minimalist piece of furniture. The bachelor chest is smaller and shorter compared to vertical, lingerie, and gentleman chests. It is the perfect piece of furniture for a person with minimal storage needs and limited room space. Some bachelor chests can also function as nightstands.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_Modern_Bachelor_Chest\"><\/span>What is the Modern Bachelor Chest?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The bachelor chests of today feature a mid-century modern design.
