This is a bedside table that is made of mahogany, ebony details and Turkish tiles for the top surface. It has a hidden drawer underneath the cabinet that’s set back about 3”. Simply reach under, hope there aren’t any new and scary spider occupants and slide the drawer out. This is where James Bond 007 would keep his passport if he were in Turkey and he had the foresight to bring his bedside furniture with him.

Super clean and nice choice of tile for the top, and like the handles, what is the white at the handles?

Well done and a nice design. I think however the secret is still safe. At least with me it is.

a bedside table…I thought it a small cabinet that might sit atop another piece of furniture…but what a fine creation…and beautiful tiles atop…don’t let james bond get anywhere near this…he’s kinda hard on furniture at times.

Wow, do I like this cabinet. Design, execution and finish are superb. The base with the shapely bun feet and the ebony splines and bead, the pulls, sweet SOSS hinges and the top molding really make this piece stand out. Way to go, Way7.

BTW what are the dimensions and what did you use for a finish, if you don’t mind my asking?

Thanks to all for the encouraging feedback. The size is 31” h x 23” w x 23” deep. I used a diluted mahogany type stain to tone the color slightly and then 3 coats of a semi-gloss lacquer for the final finish. I lightly sand the lacquer with 400g in between coats. Sorry I don’t have a photo of the hidden drawer, that was a late addition and didn’t seem that important at the time, and the piece was sold a few years ago.
