There are five drawers in this console

I also used Birdseye Maple to redo the doors that were originally covering the built in shelving units

This is a buffet designed for some art lovers that really didn't want to move the incredible painting in the dining room, so I designed the cabinet elements around it.  They truly loved the silky smooth Cherry and the carved transitions between doors and drawers.  The unit measures 84"h x 121"w x 24"d

OmarAngelPerez writes: I appreciate the comments guys! When first designing this project, of course many of my dimensions were based on the china and platters going in the units. That's when I realized that three separate pieces would be better than just one massive cabinet. The carving comes in play as a way to honor the beauty of the quilted cherry. I didn't want to take too much away from that wood and, at the same time, i wanted the piece to be a dramatic partner to all the other art pieces in the house.

BenchMarc writes: I think that maybe your clients should up-grade the artwork above your beautiful cabinet. The carved work is really excellent, and the design is well-balanced overall.
