Felicity's Clothes Press was introduced in 1991. It was replaced with her 2-Doll Clothes Press in 2005.
PC description: Colonial homes didn't have closets, so people stored clothes on the shelves and in the drawers of a clothes press An important piece of furniture in fine houses back in 1774, it's an heirloom for you to cherish today and forever. H:25", W:15", D:8"
Grade B-
Like everything else in Felicity’s collection, this piece is large, bulky and hard to store. Unlike the other AG doll trunks, Felicity’s clothes press doesn’t fit in most standard shelving units and almost needs to be displayed on the floor. This also by far the heaviest piece of AG furniture. I don’t trust myself carrying it more than a couple feet. Although this is a sturdy piece of furniture, it holds next to nothing. I can store less than half of my Felicity collection in her clothes press. However, on the positive side, the two drawers are quite deep and hold more than one might think.
Although the clothes press is not the most practical piece of furniture designed by Pleasant Company, it is quite pretty. I really like the dark cherry or cherry type wood that they used. The piece also strongly resembles a real clothes press we have from that period, even down to the molding.
Although I don’t own the new clothes press, most people who do own both say it's worth paying an extra $50-$100 to get the old version. Apparently the quality of the older one is a lot nicer and it holds more.
BTW: Because of the camera glare, it looks like part of the clothes press is a little lighter than rest. In reality, it's all the same color.
