Each drawer front is a small frame-and-panel — the same construction used for cabinet doors — which gives the fronts a subtle recessed centre and helps keep them flat over time.

The case sides are solid walnut, with a streak of pale sapwood left along the bottom edge. It’s the pedestal that sits under the Mission Control standing desk.

The drawer boxes are solid cherry, with dovetail joinery and a natural finish that shows the wood’s warm colour and figure. The drawers run on full-extension ball-bearing slides, so they open smoothly and fully.
