Wooden Shelf with Drawer West Indies Display it on the mantleThis is just a lovely piece, simple and direct, honestly made, and with terrific proportions. Plus, useful!

Just add a couple of hooks to the back and hang it on the wall, or set it on a counter! 17 1 4" tall x 12 3 4" wide x 9" deep and in very good vintage condition, with some small dings
