This cabinet is a perfect example of functional and versatile design: its compact dimensions make it ideal for entryways or study corners, but the top can be doubled in seconds to transform it into a convenient desk or gaming table.

This highly practical piece of furniture features:

Double-sided top with central hinges.

2 drawers on the left side (perfect for stationery, accessories, or sewing).

1 compartment with a hinged door on the right side.

Elegant saber legs that lend a light touch to the structure.

CONDITION (as shown in the photo):
The cabinet is solid and functional, but has obvious signs of aging on the wood surface, testifying to its authenticity and highlighted in the photos.

Top (open): The surface of the open top shows the most obvious signs of aging. Several concentric circles and rings (water or heat stains, the classic "cup stains") are clearly visible, concentrated especially on the left half of the tabletop. There is also a larger area of ​​discoloration and scattered surface scratches.

Edges: The edges of the tabletop are slightly worn and have small chips.

Body and Drawers: The drawer fronts and door are in better condition than the tabletop, but have small scattered signs of wear. The bottom drawer knob has a small imperfection or chipping.

Finish: The surface finish is matte. The piece requires a thorough cleaning and, depending on your taste, a surface restoration to remove stains (ideally with walnut-colored wax). The supporting structure and opening mechanisms are sound.
