Story
Few flourishes
The page says the sideboard has few decorative flourishes apart from striking brass brackets whose screw slots face inwards to form a simple, symmetrical pattern.
Hand assembly
Because of its tenon and bevelled joints, double brackets and doors, the BM0057 is assembled by hand, which the page ties to the exacting craftsmanship of the piece. It calls the sideboard a classic example of practical perfectionism that supports everyday living.
