Four open shelves rise beneath an architectural bamboo gallery, while the lower section incorporates narrow divided slots that add both visual interest and additional storage.

Its tall, slender proportions make this particularly easy to place. At only 16.75 inches wide, it could tuck into a guest bath with folded towels and apothecary jars, hold books and collected objects in a bedroom, or bring a wonderfully relaxed note to a sunroom filled with plants and blue-and-white porcelain. The aged white surface has considerable charm as it is, though the piece could also be repainted if a cleaner finish were desired.
