American Cherry 13-Drawer Pro Series Chest

The 2613-AC Pro Series Chest is the largest and most advanced chest handcrafted in the Gerstner Dayton, Ohio factory. Designed for professionals and serious collectors who demand maximum capacity and precision organization, the Pro Series represents the highest level of Gerstner craftsmanship. With thirteen drawers and a full-width top compartment, the 2613 provides expansive, graduated storage for precision measuring tools, machinist instruments, knives, firearm accessories, specialty hand tools, and valued collections. The traditional Gerstner front lid secures all drawers when closed and stows beneath the drawer stack when open, allowing complete access to the interior. Constructed from plain sawn American Cherry and finished in Gerstner’s signature fruitwood tone, this chest showcases flowing grain patterns and natural warmth. The finish enhances the wood’s character without masking it. Over time, cherry will naturally darken, developing deeper richness and patina with age. Exclusive to the 2613 is Gerstner’s trademarked Stop-Trac adjustable drawer system. This mechanism reduces accidental drawer removal while still allowing full removal when desired. Drawer tension can be adjusted to the user’s preference, offering added control during transport and daily use. One drawer features an independent keyed lock, allowing secure storage of personal valuables while the remainder of the chest remains accessible. Each drawer is hand-fitted to ensure smooth operation and precise alignment. More than 1,000 individual operations go into crafting every 2613 chest. Tongue-and-groove joinery reinforces structural integrity, while brown felt-lined drawers protect contents from scratches and movement. As with all Gerstner wooden chests, the natural properties of the wood help absorb moisture, supporting rust prevention for stored metal tools. Built to anchor a professional workshop or serve as the centerpiece of a serious collection, the 2613-AC Pro Series Chest is designed to perform for generations.
