I bought one for myself over the summer months and it needs a touch of tender loving refinishing. It was purchased as a place for my bobbins of counted cross stitch threads, patterns, needles etc. I've already used up the top two drawers for threads,, the bottom drawer for embroidery hoops and such. One top end flap holds my cross stitch booklets and the other holds my rolls of cross stitch fabric. I'm already out of room. I may have to look for something bigger, but will still keep my Martha Washington.
