Value of Lane Legacy Love Chest

Value of Lane Legacy Love ChestHi there. Curious to know the value of this chest. It's in really nice condition. No scratches. I've tried to research the style and serial number but not having much luck. The serial number has a 7th digit and from what I've read that means it's the plant number. But there's probably not a plant numbered zero. Searched and searched but haven't seen any with the same cushion. Maybe it was reupholstered. I'm not sure.
