Product details
Built-in cable management for collecting cables and cords; out of sight but close at hand.
Drawer stops prevent the drawers from being pulled out too far.
Can be placed in the middle of a room because the back is finished.

Material
What is particleboard?
Particleboard is made from recycled wood and sawmill leftovers – so wood pieces with the wrong shade, woodchips and sawdust become a resource instead of possibly being discarded. We use boards for things like bookcases, bed frames, sofas and kitchen frames. To protect from wear and moisture, we apply varnish, veneer or foil that adds to the furniture's look.
