This item was designed in March 2005 and produced in China in August 2005. Since then, it has been reproduced with a variation only.

This medium size dresser is handcrafted with a dense soft wood from Southern China called "Lotus Wood".

The top of the dresser is fitted with a rattan mat over the wood board. The rattan mat, instead of an exposed wood board, makes the surface more wear-and-tear, as the rattan does not show the dirt or the scratches as easily as a wood surface.

The frame of the dresser is hand-carved in a bamboo motif all around. The bamboo design is highly regarded in both Chinese woodwork and in Chinese culture for the beauty of its material and for its connection with the nature and the high artistic and morale standard symbolized by the artisans and scholars.

This dresser was designed with two variations: one with only three horizontal large drawers, and one with two smaller drawers on top followed by two large drawers underneath horizontally across the body. The drawers have a generous depth to allow for ample storage.

This product is produced in limited quantity only. Because Lotus wood bears many grainy knobs and holes in the raw material, the holes are often big and need to be patched. It is difficult to have large cuts of this wood without encountering many discolorations and holes in the wood. Therefore, although wood selection is extremely careful, each piece will differ in its look.

This dresser was designed with the intention to be used in pairs for best look.
