Ercol's elm chests of drawers versus oak chests of drawers

A lot of Ercol chests of drawers may come in either elm or oak wood varieties, and both of these wood types are durable enough to be scratch and damage-resistant. However, elm is much easier to carve than oak, so elm Ercol chests will be more likely to have wood carvings and decorations while oak ones will likely be plain. On the other hand, oak chests are resistant to rotting and water damage while elm ones are not, so oak chests of drawers by Ercol may be outdoor safe while elm ones likely are not.

Elm chests of drawers are naturally light in colour, ranging from white and tan to medium red and brown, while oak chests of drawers are naturally dark in colour, usually ranging from medium to dark brown and red. Additionally, elm chests tend to be lightweight and less expensive than heavyweight oak chests.
