The 2-bay shelving unit offers tons of storage options that can be customized for your specific space and unique needs.

The set includes three separate 3-drawer compartments, two drop-down desk or bar cabinets, two single shelves, and six uprights. The configuration shown includes all of these parts, but individual parts can removed or rearranged. In addition, you could turn the 2-bay unit into a single bay if desired.

The midcentury modern shelving unit is made of solid Yugoslavian walnut. The desk or bar modules each have one interior drawer, and the drop down panels are accented with black laminate. All the drawers are lined inside with white laminate. The Kopenhavn label appears on the inside of several drawers.

The circa 1960s storage unit is in good vintage condition. The pieces are well made and very heavy, made of solid walnut. The drawers and drop down panels work well. The wood finish has some wear consistent with age and use, including scratches, dents, and discoloration. Some of the white laminate lining the drawers has yellowed. One of the 3-drawer modules is cracked on the bottom of one side that could be glued and clamped, but it does not appear to affect the functioning of the drawers. Please see photos for more details about condition.

As configured, the storage unit measures 69" tall, 66" wide, and 18" deep.

The whole unit can be fully disassembled for transport into the following parts:
