Will this chest work for a service for 16? Are there spaces for the 4 extra knives, in particular?

Hi Elizabeth, This chest will hold all of the pieces for 16 except for the 4 extra knives. I just lay mine down in front of the other silverware pieces in the top of the box. In the drawer below I have all of the serving pieces plus ice tea spoons that I purchased separately. The serving pieces are oversized but fit in nicely by placing butter knives and sugar spoons in between the slots. I just love this chest, it is so beautiful and functional.

Hello Elizabeth. There are slots for 12 knives on the lid as you can probably tell by the picture. Additionally, there are 12 more slots which you cannot see in the picture that are on either side of the base below where the forks and spoons rest. I just put four of my knives there and they fit just fine. I have 12 spoons in my set and I could easily add 4 more. I could fit more forks in the chest as well. And the pull out drawer holds quite a bit. I have 6 serving pieces in there and there's room for more pieces if you can't fit them in the base. Hope this helps.

It depends on the number of additional serving pieces you have. I purchased it for a service for 12 and although it fits not only the service for 12 but some additional extra serving pieces, because some of the serving pieces were oversized and there were so many extras, I had to put them in a different box. However, if you just have service for 16 and the four extra knives, they probably will fit. There is a top and bottom drawer. Love this chest.

Hello Elizabeth. This chest was purchased as a gift so I really can't say if it can hold a setting for 16. I have seen the setting of 12 in the chest and there may be some room for extras. The drawer gives extra space so I'm sure you would find space for the extra 4 knives. Best of luck to you. It's a lovely piece.

No. I have service for 8 w/reg. knives, individual butter knives (no place for 4 of them), reg. spoon, soup spool, tea spoon, dinner forks, and salad forks. No space for extra serving pieces. I've made it work but periodically have to polish a piece or two. I would buy it again.

That depends on the knives. I have 2 8" chef knives, an 8" santoku, a 12" carving knife, and a key chain bottle opener hanging on mine. It still has enough room to add a paring/petty knife.

depending on the size of knife would determine how many. Mine is currently holding at least 10 various knives, it could hold more.

It does come with a few extra slots. I have found it useful if you had purchased a single knife at some point, you can add it to the block. That said, the standard knives in the set cover pretty much everything you need on a day to day basis.

If you lay the complete set of 4 in a single line, you could get 60 or so thin knives in them. However, I don't have 60 thin knives so I put the tip of the blades in one section and the blade closest to the handle on another section. I also put the knives in every other slot so there's plenty of room for the ones with large-handles. I tried many ways to configure the set until I found the best placement of the knives I have. I love the set. I think it saves so much space and is much safer than just laying them in the drawer (and who has space for that!?)

I keep mine at my station and it's no problem. Mine is STUFFED with everything I need and it's probably no more than 8 inches thick. I have a FULL set if knives, nearly every gadget that is standard, plus a few extras and it all fits. This is a great bag.

Without knowing the specific pieces you have, it's hard to tell. It's set up for a service for 12, with 12 knife and butter knife slots, and 9 slots for spoons, forks, etc. in the upper space. The lower drawer has 8 slots for serving pieces but I've had to put a few larger pieces (carving set, pie server) in sideways as the drawer is just under 9 inches deep.

It does hold 15 depending on the size. You can also use a slot for two knives. The handles are always handy.

I have this chest. Regular knives will not fit in the butter spreader slots.

Depends on size...I've got 4 katanas and 2 Jo staffs in mine...anything much bigger than those in width and this isn't going to work

I don't think so. It is gorgeous and handy buy to small, it might not have room enough for all 4... Sorry if my answer is not helpful... Cheers!

Hello, There is more than one seller of this item and currently Amazon is using the other seller's description (which isn't very good). It is a 16 drawer chest. All the drawers are approximately the same size. It's handmade, so there could be very slight variations in size. Hope that helps. Keith - Magoo's General Store, Inc.

Really depends on the knifes you will putting in it. I would say about 20 steak knifes close together.

The chest by size is fair and holds three small drawers, not real deep. It would depend upon the size of clothing or things you put in the chest. It is a well made chest, but check on the color to make sure you get the lighter brown not a real dark brown. i was happy with mine, but got a different color. also you have to put the legs on the chest, so expect to put two together.

The drawer has 10 slots which will hold dinner knives although only the two end slots will hold a dinner knife securely. You could place two knives in each of the wider slots if the knives were placed nose to tail in each slot. The nose to tail configuration will also hold the knives in place. Hope this helps. With 24 knives you won't have much room for serving pieces. If I remember correctly there is a two drawer version available.

It can fit several 8" long knives a bit over 2in heel width. The scissors and steel are good too.
