I saw this piece on the cover of a woodsmith magazine, I always hated the cheesey looking wooden key with hooks for our car keys that we had hanging in the kitchen so this became a winter time project for me. As usual Red Oak was my choice because all of our cabinets and the kitchen table is oak anyway, but I just love Red Oak.
From the pictures you’ll see that there isn’t really four small drawers, it is one large false drawer front that drops done and is held in place by a roll joint. It offers quite a fair amount of storage space for things like our sunglasses, a flashlight, small emergency radio. The top it6self also works as a shelf for displaying trinkets and seasonal items for the holidays.

Very Nice, I especially like how you made the front drop opening up to a large compartment, drawers are nice but I like your idea better. Keep posting…...your brother in woodworking John

I had seen this project in Woodsmith and have considered building one myself (too little time so far!).
I like how yours came out. I like Oaks (white and red) as well. looks great.

In the woodsmith there was a couple of different variations on how you could cut the end pieces but I liked the looks of the curved ends the best. The drop down door is a really neat feature and there is a lot of space in there.

You did a good job with this. Small drawers would not really add anything to the piece. The single opening better serves its intended purpose.
Nice post.
