Kavari Entryway Cabinet

Our sleek new antique of richly grained acacia wood warms the entryway with the look of a well-loved family heirloom. Classic cabinet has one fixed shelf and two storage drawers. Each piece is constructed with mortise-and-tenon joinery and hand-finished with a two-tone distressing technique that produces a rich, glowing brown patina with undertones of black. Clean crown moulding, raised panel doors and hand-finished iron hardware add character. -Acacia wood -Edge-to-edge planks and tongue-and-groove frame joinery -Iron hardware -Lacquer finish -Two drawers with wood channel glides and stoppers -One fixed shelf -Made in India

Great Accent Piece

"We used this to fill a space in our living room. The color and texture are both great. It coordinates well with the Hunter Trunk (also crom C&B) in the same room."

Surpasses Our Expectations

"We bought the matching media piece a couple years ago and love it. I kept eyeballing this entryway cabinet and finally went for it. WE LOVE IT! It is so much nicer and substantial looking in person; the picture does not do it justice at all. We have a small home and this fits the entry space perfectly. Also, I love the professionalism of Crate and Barrel, whether you do the delivery or pick up they make it very easy. We will own this piece for years to come. The color is rich and has some variation and highlights to it-- just beautiful and compliments the media cabinet perfectly! We had to wait a month or so but the time estimate by Crate and Barrel was spot on and it was worth the wait. For the price, I don't see how you could find a nicer piece. It is a welcome change to our entryroom and love how its the first thing you see in the house. Love it, love it, love it."

Really nice piece!

"We purchased this just off the web site and are so happy with it. It did rock a bit like another person said but one sticky pad later and we were all set. Nice storage, perfect depth for our spot and just really pretty. We are waiting on the 3 door cabinet, can't wait to get it!"

Care Instructions

"For some reason, the crate and barrel website will not allow all reviews to be seen at this time, but I posted a review several months ago about being in love with this cabinet. Well...I still am, but there was a bit of trouble involved with it over the past couple of months. The piece I originally had in August began cracking down the side. It started as a thin line down the side (about a foot long) and as the weeks went by it slowly widened to an actual crack. I did not have this piece of furniture near any vents (as instructed) so i did some research and found that acacia wood is prone to cracking if you do not oil it regularly. The crate and barrel instructions tell you NOT to use any liquids to polish the furniture. If you trust this advice, you may be dealing with cracks in the future. I will be writing the company to tell them this. As for now, I have a new cabinet (picked up yesterday) and it is beautiful. I will keep it oiled, even though crate and barrel says not to. Let me tell you, with a thin coat of Old English, this cabinet is just truly beautiful. I pray no cracks in this one!!"

"This is a beautiful piece of furniture that looks exactly the same in person as online. It's very solid (and heavy!) and can hold quite a bit. With the narrow profile and size, this would work for many different spaces."

love it!

"This is so awesome! Shipping was great, and I love everything about it. The finish on the inside was a little jagged but every part of the outside looks great. I like the extra space and storage for my living room."

rustic but solid

"Picked this cabinet up today.... not nearly as pretty as the mango wood one we bought already from c&b but that would have been another $500 so I feel ok about it. Not excited like I was with the golden mango wood one. I can say the knot puttying is lame. Imho."

Beautiful entry statement

"I bought this piece to put in my entryway, because I needed something that was solid wood, with drawers and shelf space.
Not thinking too clearly, I elected to pick it up myself. It was HEAVY and very solid! However, once I got it in the house and put it where I wanted it, it was just perfect. The color is gorgeous, the lines are clean, and people who come into my home for visits are just amazed. I highly recommend this piece."

Great so far

"I loved the way I thought this trunk would fit into our home. Its elegant and understated but eye catching at the same time. The wood seems to be high quality. We've had it about 2 weeks and are pleased thus far. I like that this would be "claasy" storage for any future kiddie toys. Seems like a better solution than plastic tubs"

Exactly as advertised

"I ordered the entry way cabinet online and the process was easy and everything that they said would happen----Did.
It was delivered on time, in perfect condition and by very professional drivers.
The cabinet is just as described in the catalog and is beautiful. Drawers work as they should and doors open and close evenly. It is a quality product. I commend Crate and Barrel for their product and their service. Very satisfied customer."

Admired piece

"The Design Team purchased the Kavari chest for the main lobby of our condominium. It was immediately loved by all - no mean feat for a diverse resident population of nearly 100 people. Most want one on their floor as well (we bought other pieces from CB for each floor). The chest makes an elegant, but not too fussy statement to all who enter our building when paired with a high back chair, unusual lamp and framed artwork."

Perfect as a buffet in small dining room!

"I had to do a lot of searching for something that would work as a buffet in our very small dining room, and this piece is absoultely perfect! We've had this for over a year and it still looks lovely (a few scratches on top, but this was due to a particular incident that I think would have scratched any wood - in general, it doesn't seem to be very prone to scratches, although we don't move the stuff on top of it very much).
I looked at one in the store before buying off the internet, but I was still surprised at what a heavy, substantial piece of furniture it is when it arrived. Ours had an odor at first (from the stain, I guess) but that went away quickly. LOVE IT!!!"

crack in side of piece

"I'm so saddened by this purchase. I have 2 of them. Bought one last year that is in great shape, and one a month ago. It was fine when it first came, and now has a huge crack down the side of the piece. I was so happy with the first one, but now i'm so sad the second one i purchased is a dud. ugh!"

Great Piece for My Bathroom

"I needed a linen chest for my husband's newly renovated bathroom. All the linen towers or cabinets I considered either were too tall or would not fit in the small space I needed to place it in this bathroom. I found this cabinet online and determined the measurements were perfect. The rest of the bathroom have cherry wood accessories and I was so pleased to see the deep red and gold in the wood; it goes so well with the whole decorating scheme of the room. The construction is heavy and sturdy; the drawers roll out and in well. Even though this is advertised as an entryway cabinet, it is narrow enough for our needs to hold all the towels for this bathroom and provides generous counter space. The only drawback was the price, but I was getting nowhere in the department stores finding the size I needed. On the bright side, I elected to spend the money to have it delivered to my home. The delivery van showed up on time and they brought it in and took it out of its crate. I have already decided that when I sell my house, this piece is going with me!"

Beautiful coordinating piece that rocks

"I love this cabinet and it coordinates nicely with the hunter trunk. I would gladly give it a 5 star rating if it didn't rock back and fourth without floor pads."

Nice looking cabinet

"Nice looking cabinet. A little rustic for our tastes, but overall we are satisfied. We had to return the first one delivered because the door was made too long and was wearing down the wood on the inside. The second cabinet delivered had its front door knobs off center. We decided not to return it again as it kind of added to the rustic look and didn't want to deal with the nuisance of blocking off the entire day to wait for a delivery."
