It works in an alcove or hallway, or anywhere a full-width bookcase won't fit. The upper section has four shelves with a recessed base. Rows of holes on the inside of each side let you move the shelves to suit books, ceramics or glassware.

the chest has four drawers with bar handles shaped from solid wood. Each handle has angled ends and an undercut edge, so it's easy to grip. The drawer boxes are pale timber with dovetailed fronts, and they run neatly inside the case. The chest sits on a separate frame of square-section legs joined by plain rails. That lifts it off the floor and keeps the whole piece from looking heavy. The teak has good figure on the side panels, especially on the upper section. Metal brackets on the back fix the two sections together.

there is an ink stamp inside one section that reads: "troeds / modell / domi monté / design / nils jonsson / made in sweden", with the "bra bohag" mark below. This piece has an attribution mark,
