The cabinet features a powder white, welded, steel frame, a hard white plastic top that was advertised as both "alcohol and cigarette proof", a red lacquered wooden drawer with a natural finish on the interior, and two black masonite sliding doors for additional hidden storage. This color combination was most likely a custom order. The cabinet hardware is chrome-plated.

This cabinet is from Nelson's "Steel Frame" collection. The collection was designed to be "superbly well-suited for today's small, multi-purpose rooms as well as durable, decorative, and functional, which was a must for all Herman Miller furniture. The original manufacturer's mark remains intact inside of the top drawer.

The two Steel Frame dressers shown are listed separately. See less
