The Tansu Stair Cabinet

I’m not a fan of the style, but your shop produces some great quality pieces. I like the custom metalwork aspect too. Top notch sir.

I love this project

I really like this, Dan. I’ve been building my “dream house” and after living for 10 years in a two story house, this one is all on one floor. Otherwise I would have something like this. The tansu chest you have pictured is has a nice style to it. Thanks for the post.

Great project Dan! Awesome job once again!

This is awesome. Other than the obvious constraints (stairs), what were the drivers for the proportions of the doors and drawers?

I really like the cloudlift on the top set of doors. The different panel and hardware styles give this piece interest.

Beautiful piece.
I have made a couple of them but not in a stairs like yours. They were free standing furniture cabinets.
I made them in stacking units that could be re-configured or used independently if necessary. Also one is 8’ X 8’ so it is to big and heavy to move as one piece.
I think they are fun to build.

Great work ,whats something like that weigh?

-- GO DAWGS!

Those are great. What a way to use “wasted” space.

Awesome project Dan. I am a big fan of your work.

I have been interested in doing a tansu project someday.

Love it!

Beautiful projects…How deep do the drawers go into the stairs ?

-- When did quiet and quite become the same word ? I'm guessing about the same time as your and you're did.

Good looking project and an outstanding use of space. Had to be a design nightmare to build it with the intention of disassembling it for shipping. Good work.
