Dramatic, carved, ebonized, block pulls complement both the black vinyl removable cushion and plinth base.

The second unit features all of the same attributes as the first, sans the illumination function, and in replacement of the sliding doors, there is a secretary component with a locking drop down surface concealing open storage and a small cubby for letters / small items. Includes the original key for the secretary.
Compact pieces that remain highly functional without compromising style.
The walnut has been gently refinished; only minor scuffs remain. The unit with the sliding doors shows a prominent fissure through the back plywood, which is visible through the walnut veneer in the front, but easily concealed by items when stored on the top shelf (see images).
