Dimensions: height 34.5 cm, width 29 cm, depth 49 cm.

Thanks to its compact size and simple layout, it is a very practical object that also brings warmth and atmosphere.

The cabinet has three useful drawers, each finished with a գեղեցful metal handle. The drawer fronts show a warm reddish-brown wood tone with lively grain patterns, while the outer case has a darker, timeworn surface. It is precisely this combination of warm patina, signs of use, and understated finish that makes the piece so appealing.

The proportions are simple and well balanced, allowing the cabinet to fit effortlessly into different spaces. It works particularly well as a tabletop storage cabinet for small materials, papers, writing tools, sewing items, loose objects, or other everyday necessities. At the same time, it also functions beautifully as a display piece, with room on top for a small ikebana arrangement, a ceramic object, or another subtle accent.

The condition is good and nicely timeworn, with signs of use and wear consistent with its age.

A practical and characterful Japanese storage cabinet that works beautifully in an office, living space, bedroom, or shop interior. See less
