Drawers open from all four sides of this cabinet. Any given drawer can be pushed or pulled in order to open from either of two sides. The drawers self-register their closed location with rare earth magnets. There are six hidden compartments. It is made of sapele, Baltic birch plywood, and maple.

anthro writes: Very impressive design and execution. The only aspect I would question is why the base is a different wood to the frame. At first glance it looks as though the cabinet and base are two separate pieces. Posted: 3:54 am on October 17th
