Drove by and it was open with a business inside. Was cool to see. The kids got a kick out of it.

I had no idea this chest was here and found it while driving through town. You really can't miss it, and almost can't believe your eyes. If you love "world's biggest," fun, random, American treasures it's worth a stop.

World's Largest Dresser

It was sad when we drove up and I saw a "For sale" sign sitting out front of the giant bureau. It was in great condition, really easy to find, and a parking lot right next to it, so very easy to get to.

The World's Largest Chest of Drawers is still for sale, but the sign has been lowered so the big socks are visible.

World's Largest Chest Of Drawers

When we visited the Largest Chest of Drawers we were saddened to see a big "For Sale" sign on it again. They had a banner over it so you could not see the socks - but we peeked underneath, they are still safely there. It was easy to get to.
