world's largest chest of drawers

It was fun to drive to the big chest of drawers with socks sticking out, just to take a picture. I'll point out, though, that one of the photos here (the one without the socks) is of something else in a different location. Furnitureland South, referred to in some reviews, is not at 508 North Hamilton St. High Point. I was expecting to find a huge furniture store and all I found was the "world's largest chest of drawers" nestled between two houses.

It's neat to have this Chest in our area. NC is known for furniture.Furniture market takes place twice per year.

I just read that this giant "chest of drawers" is part of a local furniture business-- did the "For Sale (or Lease)" sign go away?! The socks make it! I've wondered what kind of condition the interior was in, since the exterior could make for an interesting venue of some sort, even/especially if other-than-furniture-related. We ain't got much ordinary nightlife, huh, while GSO and WS have campaigned to attract peeps to downtown/uptown, zealously! One potential error the CHP (and business or property owners) may have made, given decades, is having vetted most everything to The Industry, with some newer businesses vying for Emerywood patronage-- imaginative, creative, affordable and viable new economic ventures (or even, community arts & entertainment projects) in HP seem to have been lacking for a long time. Yay, at least, for kitschy, free things to look at! Who can't like the scale of this landmark & Thomasville's Big Chair (and lion, lol, and Everybody's Day, and restaurant with music & an upstairs bar & available parking: goodness)?!End-note, visit Penny Path C & C on E. Kivett: see what High Point could be, if only...

Furnitureland South is an amazing place for furniture shopping. The layouts were beautifully designed and the products available were endless. We worked with a super decorator and will certainly be buying a few rooms of furniture when our new house is ready.

My family lived in North Carolina when I was a child. It was not until I was an adult, and a director of an architecture firm that I fully understood the significance of the Chest of Drawers. As an attraction, it is a quick photo op as most people have said, but if you have time to browse the furniture markets here, do so. The real attraction is seeing the wonderful craftsmanship and variety of furniture. You can read history from furniture. High Point is the world's furniture Capitol, spend a couple days and go beyond the Chest. However, if you really are just into great big things, consider the Longaberger basket building in Newark, Ohio.

I have been here as I bought a lot of furniture land south. Some great deals if you need furniture but I would not go out of my way to see this attraction

We visited on the weekend and could not actually get in because it is behind a fence, but it is easy to see because it is quite large. It is unique and something to see..

This is one kooky icon of High Point. Thing is - if you love furniture - High Point happens to be the Furniture Capital of the World. Yes, World. Long story short - back in the day - we made so much furniture from the timber here and folks from else where would drive their wagons here to come buy. As time went by, crazy, adventurous designers moved here and we have a bizarre blend of home style Southern and cutting edge design. Great historic district, furniture libraries, furniture stores, seriously excellent restaurants and art. Plus - John Coltrane is from here! We have a jazz festival.My advice - come stay at the J.H. Adams Inn (they have jazz on Thursdays, I think - it might change) but a majorly historic house that has been renovated into an Inn, excellent restaurant, and just - cool. All the rooms are decorated based on various world renowned furniture lines. What I really like about the place is all the outdoor space. Inside / outdoor living. Full disclosure - I had my wedding at the J. H. Adams Inn. Beyond magical.

I just read a number of reviews on this chest of drawers and have to make a correction. Most visitors "just passing by" don't realize this chest of drawers is part of the main building for Furnitureland South, the largest furniture store in the world. I live not far away and shop here for furniture on occasion, there are many buildings on the campus, one is a sit down restaurant and there is a sit down Starbucks in the main building. If one is looking for furniture one would not know where to begin without a guide. When you walk into the main building a hostess at a desks asks what you are looking for and then calls a professional sales associate who specializes in that particular type of furniture. This chest of drawers is a symbol of Furnitureland South which is so large that I was told it would take three full days to see every department in all the buildings. Do not discount this attraction as "just a set of drawers" and do stop to wander through the various buildings for an hour or so. There is a factory outlet building at the rear of the campus.

Okay, this is just a tourist photo op. It's an office building that has been converted to look like a 38 foot tall chest of drawers. If you are into huge furniture, check out the 85 foot tall Highboy at Furniture Land south on business 85 and the 30 foot tall Big Chair nearby in downtown Thomasville

If you are passing by and want to take a quick photo, that is all this is worth. Its just a big set of drawers next door to an apt building.

It was interesting to view this attraction. We took a few pictures and left. Not worth going out of your way for.

Just off the main drag in High Point and worth looking at, but that is it. Nice if you are in town for market as a photo opp. to remember the city. Sort of like the big chair in Thomasville.

It is a very nice attraction to see whenever you might be in High Point. The sock hanging out of the drawer is a nice addition.

I spent allot of time in High Point / Greensboro for Furniture conventions. Someone told me the largest chest ever was dwon the street. I know its corny but I couldnt help it I had to snap a pic in front of it. Everyone loves the picture. Love this town during the furniture convention, people from all over the world come to High Point twice a year. Plenty of friendly locals.
