Susan S on Mar 23, 2012To begin with " Lane" is the manufacturers name. The second set of numbers designates the group humber and that particular item such as nightstand, dresser - whatever it is. Furniture companies frequently change groups and if it turns out to not be a really HOT group, may only last through one season. Are you hoping to find additional pieces? What are you trying to find out about it?Helpful Reply

Cheryl S on Mar 23, 2012I bought it with the intent to turn it into a project, and didn't notice the info on the bottom till I got it into the car. I just don't want to desecrate a nice piece of furniture out of ignorance.Helpful Reply

Susan S on Mar 24, 2012Cheryl, Lane is a respectable furn. mfgr. but in the overall world of good, better, best, it generally is considered good/better so I wouldn't worry about desecrating a "future heirloom" - that it ain't gonna be!! If it were a Henkel Harris piece then you'd want to think about it. Go ahead and project away and don't feel guilty about whatever you do.Helpful Reply

Donna McCrummen on Mar 25, 2012Great $10 score! Here's what I did with mine. I used super duper fine steel wool to sand the cedar and now it smells like new. I used CeCe Caldwell's chalk paint.Helpful Reply

Denise Boyce on Oct 23, 2015If it's an Acclaim series side table as the style number would suggest it's worth about 150.00 to 200.00 dollars. Do what you will. [ =Helpful Reply

Diana Deiley on Apr 02, 2016Have you googled Lane Furniture? It's a good quality product. They were known for their cedar chests. (I have one.) Whatever you have, KEEP it..Helpful Reply

M. How on Apr 02, 2016If you have a LANE chest without a key, look on EBAY. There is a seller who will get you a key to any LANE chest if you give him the serial number. Was inexpensive and I now have a chest that locks.Helpful Reply

Talk2cathy on Jul 15, 2016Great find! I have about nine Lane cedar chests. One important thing to consider is the lock. Check the Lane website and/or call to determine if you need to replace the lock for safety reasons. There was a period where the locks that were used could trap someone inside. I replaced mine through Lane an only paid postage. Enjoy!Helpful Reply
