The case pairs classic campaign details — brass corner mounts, circular drawer pulls, and geometric brass door handles — with serious entertaining function. Two upper drawers hold flatware, linens, and bar tools; below, double doors open to a roomy compartment with an interior shelf for glassware and serveware.

The hinged top unfolds in stages to 60 or a full 80 inches, supported by two pull-out wooden lopers and revealing durable dark laminate surfaces for food and drink service. Finished on all four sides, it works against a wall or freestanding. Four casters included for optional installation.

JUNE'S THOUGHTS
This is the kind of piece that makes me appreciate clever furniture design. The amount of serving space it offers when fully opened is amazing—an 80-inch surface from a cabinet that's only 40 inches wide when closed! I think it's especially wonderful for someone with a smaller dining room or apartment who still loves to entertain a crowd. Open it up for cocktails, a buffet supper, or holiday entertaining, then fold it away when the party is over. What a practical idea, and a handsome piece of furniture as well.
