apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

And a total steal on the price! Unless it is $250 for each layer.

I love these old ultilitarian pieces. I once fawned so much over an oak shop counter that the workmen who were throwing it out offered to bring it to my place. If I'd had the space, I would have taken them up on it.

I don't know what you'd do with this piece though. Maybe it'd be perfect for someone who crafts a lot, since they always seem to have a million little supplies...

I am a librarian, so I couldn't resist having one. Mine is the right size for a coffee table, and the drawers hold a variety of cat toys.

Hot to death! So nice. I have two smaller quartersawn oak library card files. Lined with a paper drawer liner, they're great storage for things like ties and socks. Plus, if it's modular, you could arrange them into two stacks of 2 (it looks like there are two of the 'tops' included, from the picture).

Lovely. Somebody give it a good home, stat. (Plus, YES, the price is beyond reasonable -- normally these go for $150-250 per section)

I covet this piece. I would love something like that in my studio area. Many years ago I saw a gorgeous old apothecary wall unit with most of the little labels still on the various drawers and cubbies - I still kick myself for not grabbing it at the time and have never seen anything quite like it since.

I would LOVE something like this for my studio. It would just be perfect to hold art supplies and sewing/knitting stuff.

I love relics from the past like this! Perfect funtional design.

Very beautiful, very useful... just keep track of what you put in any given drawer or you'll take weeks to find it! :D I think this would be really good for someone who does some kind of craft that involves a lot of small parts - beading, something like that.
