Vintage Wooden Desk Drawers, Pine Storage Box with 1, 2 or 3 Drawers

A small chest of pine drawers for the top of a desk, a dresser or a shelf, stained a warm honey brown and printed across every drawer front with old French shop lettering. It comes with one, two or three drawers, and all three sizes share the same 9.6 by 6.9 inch footprint, so the only real choice is how tall you want it to stand.

It gives the small things a place of their own: pens, chargers, sticky notes, rings, watches and spare keys. Close the drawers and the top of the desk is clear again, with a piece of warm wood where the loose bits used to sit.

The look of an old haberdashery cabinet

Every drawer front carries the same print. "Mercerie" sits on the left, "Bouton" on the right, and between them a small black label frame marked "N°", the way an old shop cabinet was labeled for its buttons and thread. The lettering is flat black on the wood with a slightly worn, stamped look, and the three parts sit in one even line across the front.

Above the label, a half-moon notch is cut into the top edge of each drawer. That notch is the pull. You hook a finger in and slide the drawer out, so there is no knob to catch a sleeve and nothing sticking out when the drawers are shut. Around them the case is plain pine with the grain left on show, square edges and a thin frame of wood visible round every drawer.

One footprint, three heights

One Drawer is the low, flat version, a single wide drawer that sits on a desk without blocking anything behind it. Two Drawers splits the same space in two, one for what you use every day and one for what you do not. Three Drawers stands about as tall as a paperback on its end and turns a corner of the desk into a small filing chest.

Inside, each drawer is about 8.3 by 6 inches and 1.5 inches deep. That takes a row of pens and a phone cable, a stack of sticky notes, or a tray of earrings and rings laid out flat. Because every size has the same footprint, two of them side by side line up neatly front and back. Nothing needs assembling. The exact measurements for each size are in the specifications below.

Where it ends up

On a home office desk, holding the pens, cables and notebook you reach for every day. On a dresser or a vanity as a small jewelry chest, with rings in one drawer and watches in the next. On a hallway shelf for keys, sunglasses and the coins that come out of your pockets. In a sewing corner it does the job the lettering was made for, with buttons, thread and needles in their own drawers. The closed drawers keep the dust off whatever is inside, and the honey-toned pine sits easily beside books, leather and darker wood. Whatever you put in it stays a drawer away when you need it, and out of sight when you do not.
