    I adore this piece. It sends me warm memories of going to the library as a little girl. I enjoyed sliding the drawers and the smell of the old paper. I will look forward to seeing how you use this special piece.

    Hard to come by, great find.
    What fun thing are you going to do with it?
    I always thought they would be fun to use for something.
    Maybe kitchen storage or a craft room.
