This stacked mizuya-dansu (Tansu kitchen cabinet) is patterned after an authentic piece owned by one of my clients.  When unstacked it can be used as two unique end tables or bedside cabinets  It is constructed of African mahogany w/ elm wood drawer fronts.  64" high x 31" wide x 18 deep.  Tansu hardware from Hida Tool & Hardware Co. 


Design or Plan used: My own design

For anyone looking for a ready-made kitchen cabinet kit for a kitchen remodel or a new kitchen should go to http://kitchencabinetdepot.com/. When I was remodeling my kitchen I ordered my kitchen cabinet kit from there and I love the new cabinets. These cabinets were made with solid wood and plywood construction with NO PARTICLEBOARD. These are the same materials that are used in all high-end kitchen cabinets.

The choice of woods is not as traditional, I think, but it really works well with these cabinets. Very nicely done! Thank you for posting the photos.

Your choice of woods is stunning. Very nice piece.
