The drawer fronts are finished in a pale gray-green paint with integrated metal label holders and curved metal pulls, set into a darker wood case with a worn, work-scarred top. The cabinet has been elevated on simple hairpin-style legs added in-shop, giving the piece a lighter stance while clearly distinguishing the modification from the original construction.

The drawer boxes are solid wood with smooth interiors, sized for small tools, fasteners, cards, or shop supplies. Surface wear throughout-including paint loss, scratches, and exposed wood-speaks to long-term use rather than decorative distressing. Some drawer faces show breakage and loss at the corners and edges, visible in the photos, adding to the cabinet's raw, utilitarian character. The contrast between the painted drawer fronts and the darker wood sides reinforces its functional, mixed-material aesthetic.

Drawers: 5.75" H x 15.5" D x 8.75" W each See less
