Imagine how much fabric and/or tools we could hide! (and probably never find again - lol) Thanks for sharing

Not only is the whole mechanism system and hidden drawers complex amazing, the piece itself is beautiful! Sometimes we get so smug thinking that we're so advanced and smart, we need to remember that there have always been talented and brilliant humans.

I can hardly believe the craftsmanship that went into that. My Dad is a woodcarver and has done some inlay, so I know the detail that is involved (somewhat) Really a great video. Thanx Ditter

Makes you wonder what other items were created - this is beautiful. Thanks Ditter for sharing.

I had to watch this twice , it is so amazing. If I had this I could play with it all day long. In fact maybe I can just watch it all afternoon.

That is an amazing piece of craftsmanship. Every time they opened a new secret compartment all I could think was WOW I have 1 drawer in my desk and can never find anything.
