A versatile system that can be configured in different ways: as two separate single bays, as two bays joined together using three or 4 of the uprights, or arranged with the small drawer unit suspended between the bays to create a floating modular section. All configurations shown in the photographs.

The teak system is modular above the base chests. The two lower chests form fixed structural bays. Each section has proud locating screws that engages with the keyhole shaped adjustment points on the uprights.

The drawers having recessed handles. The drawer interiors are made of birch with dovetail construction. The birch ply bases show some signs of use with age. They are all in good working order. The smaller drawers make slight contact with the frame when closing.

There are two small repairs to the solid teak frame at the keyhole join points. These are secure and discreet, and can be positioned so they are not visible when the uprights are set correctly. Please refer to the photographs. There are a couple of candle burn marks to the underside of one shelf.

Veneered in teak with solid teak edgings and uprights.

No maker’s marks.
