A drawer for each collection

Keep writing tools, jewellery and flat collectibles in separate drawers. Check the height first, then the width and depth, including cases or packaging.

Seven drawers, three heights

Shallow drawers suit small accessories; deeper drawers give taller pieces more room. Both cabinet sizes share this seven-drawer layout.

Pens and desk essentials

Customer-photo layout showing fountain pens, ink packaging and pen accessories

Fountain pens, accessories and ink packaging are shown here. Other possibilities include pencils, nib cases, rulers, erasers, stamps, washi tape laid flat and small stationery tools.

Pens can lie across the drawer if their length fits. Measure pen cases separately, and check box height and closing clearance for ink packaging.

Jewellery, laid out

Bracelets, pendants, earrings and pearl jewelry in open Tambour drawers

Bangles, pendants, earrings and pearl jewellery are shown in the open drawers. Rings laid flat, brooches, cufflinks, hair accessories, watch straps and small keepsakes may also fit.

Measure each piece in its stored position. A ring stand needs more height than a ring laid flat; dividers reduce the available space.

Small collections on view

These open drawers hold framed specimen boxes. Coins in capsules, medals, enamel pins, postcards, cards in slim holders and small mineral specimens are other possibilities to check against the drawer dimensions.

Check the outside dimensions of each frame, capsule or holder. Do not rely on the cabinet for airtight, humidity-controlled or archival storage.

US$20

Confirm the compatible cabinet size and compartment dimensions before ordering.

Find the right drawer

Boy drawer footprint: approximately 240 × 170 mm. Big Boy: approximately 260 × 260 mm. Measure the complete item, including its case or packaging.

Drawer numbers run from top to bottom.

Drawer position Internal drawer height Maximum item height
including clearance
Drawers 1–3 30 mm / 1.18 in 38 mm / 1.50 in
Drawers 4–6 45 mm / 1.77 in 53 mm / 2.09 in
Drawer 7 65 mm / 2.56 in 73 mm / 2.87 in

What does “+8 mm” mean?
The 8 mm gap above each drawer adds usable vertical clearance. Including this gap, the maximum item heights are approximately 38, 53 and 73 mm.

This is the limit for fitting an item within the cabinet, rather than the height of the drawer sides. Leave a little clearance for smooth drawer movement and confirm the fit for items close to the limit.

Check height first

Drawers Internal / maximum height Suggested categories
1–3 30 / 38 mm Pens laid flat, coins, pins, cards, flat jewelry and slim tool cases.
4–6 45 / 53 mm Thicker pen cases, small accessory boxes, tape rolls laid flat and compact craft supplies.
7 65 / 73 mm Taller small boxes, low-profile ink bottles and small three-dimensional collectibles that meet all dimensions.

Items within the same category can vary in size. Leave clearance below the maximum height for the drawers to move, and account for any inserts or protective packaging.

A5 paper (210 × 148 mm) and standard postcards (148 × 100 mm) fit within the nominal footprint of either size when laid flat; covers and storage boxes need separate checking. A4 sheets (297 × 210 mm) do not fit flat in the listed rectangular drawer footprint.

Each cabinet option is sold individually. The Drawer Divider Insert is an accessory-only option and does not include a cabinet.

Materials & Finishes

Each design has its own material and finish options. Please refer to the product description and selected option for the specific wood or material combination. Natural variations in wood grain and colour give individual pieces their own character, while lighting and screen settings may affect how finishes appear in photographs.

Boy uses the selected Red Oak or Black Walnut for the frame, base and tambour door. Drawer fronts are Red Oak and drawer sides are solid boxwood. Framed panels combine multilayer wood and veneer.

Most Walnut Big Boy components are solid North American Black Walnut. The back and bottom are veneered multilayer panels; the top uses framed, veneered construction. The hardware is copper-based, excluding screws.

The woodwork is spray-finished with three coats of extra-clear primer and two coats of high-quality nitrocellulose topcoat. Four sanding stages are interspersed throughout the coating process.

Assembly & Placement

Give your everyday essentials and small treasures a place of their own. Depending on the model and compartment sizes, these cabinets can help organise stationery, craft supplies, jewellery, and small collectibles. Match the size of your items to the available storage space before choosing your cabinet.

Place on a firm, level surface that supports the whole base and the loaded cabinet. Leave enough room in front to extend the drawers. Open the tambour door before accessing them.

Keep heavier items in the lower drawers and open one drawer at a time. Empty the cabinet before moving it and lift from the base, not the handles or tambour.

Keep indoors, away from direct sunlight, heat sources and prolonged moisture. Avoid sudden changes in temperature or humidity.

Delivery & Packaging

We currently offer free worldwide door-to-door shipping. This offer may be changed or withdrawn at any time. If it ends, free shipping will require the applicable minimum order value. Please confirm the shipping terms and any minimum spend before ordering.

Door-to-door sea shipping has an estimated transit time of 15–35 days. Air shipping can be arranged on request. Contact us to confirm the route and timing for your destination.

Large items are packed with protective wooden framing. Final packed dimensions must be confirmed separately; allow for the packaging when checking doorways, stairs and lifts.

We handle export customs clearance. Import duties, taxes and destination-country customs requirements are the buyer’s responsibility.

Inspect the packaging and product on arrival. If anything is damaged, keep the packaging and take clear photographs of the affected areas.

Care & Maintenance

Dust with a soft, dry cloth. For light cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Keep water out of joints and lined compartments.

Avoid alcohol, acetone, solvents, abrasive cleaners and silicone-based polishes. Use coasters beneath drinks and protective mats beneath hot items; wipe up spills promptly.

Open and close the tambour and drawers gently. Remove dust from the tracks with a soft brush and keep the lining dry. If movement becomes stiff, check for an obstruction before applying force or lubricant.

Keep indoors, away from direct sunlight, heat sources and prolonged moisture. Avoid sudden changes in temperature or humidity.

I've bought three cabinets now and love them. When I move, I'd like to get a bigger one too. This one is for my journals. I can lock them away and have a little space that's just mine. There's something lovely about that.

The black walnut feels so smooth, and I love that it locks. The key has a lovely old-fashioned look. Hardly any smell either. The blue lining inside is perfect for my pearl necklaces. My jewelry has a little home now :) Already recommended it to loads of friends.

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

What should I check before placing an order?

Confirm your selected model, material or finish option, overall dimensions, and drawer configuration. Review the product page for any model-specific details. If anything is unclear, contact us before ordering.

How do I choose the right cabinet?

Start with the space available and the items you want to organise. Compare the overall dimensions, drawer sizes, and storage layout listed on each product page. Allow enough room for doors and drawers to open comfortably.

What can I store in these cabinets?

Depending on the model and compartment sizes, our cabinets can help organise stationery, craft supplies, jewellery, small collectibles, and everyday essentials. Check the product details and internal dimensions to make sure your items will fit.

Are the materials and finishes the same across all models?

Materials, wood combinations, and finishes vary by model and option. Refer to the individual product page for the details of your selected cabinet rather than assuming all designs use the same materials.

Will my cabinet look exactly like the photos?

Wood grain and colour can vary from piece to piece. Lighting and screen settings can also affect how a finish appears in photographs. Use the product images as a guide to the overall style and finish.

How should I care for my cabinet?

Dust with a soft, dry cloth. If light cleaning is needed, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners, prolonged moisture, direct sunlight, and nearby heat sources. Follow any model-specific care instructions provided with your cabinet.
