To be honest, this photo threw us for a loop. We weren't sure what this cabinet was for until we took a closer look and read the caption: "Instead of having a sofa, I used to have this for awhile...

"... It's a cabinet minus the doors and shelves, but still with a LARGE drawer where I used to keep all of my audio tapes and mini discs. It's very cozy to sit inside and chat, read, phone..."
While this solution may not appeal to all (especially any of you with claustrophobia), we applaud the creativity effort of reusing a big piece like this to fit a small apartment.

I think that would be cool for a place to sit down, take off your shoes, etc. As a sofa, I'm not too sure.

I always loved this piece. I remember that Ramonah has since had to sell this, I wonder who bought it and what they did with it.
