Furnishings

I'd like something clean and classic to store my tea sets (cups, saucers, pots, etc.) as well as some closed storage.

Pretty sure it's a single door so you'd be opening it all the way to get to the closed storage or the open display storage. But definitely a cheaper option.

No glass to prevent dust, but a really nice mid-century modern design

No closed storage at all, but I like the look of the rounded top when viewed straight on.
Wood & Metal 5-Shelf Arched Bookshelf Oak
 
Katie L profile picture
I like the look of the arched top and this one does have both a glass covered section and drawers. I would probably replace all of the handles to be more my style (more modern).

One of the drawer is within the glass doors, but I think I could make do given that there are drawers that are accessible without opening the top.

Appears to be similar to the Wayfair one but via Amazon. Right now the Wayfair pricing is better, but good to keep an eye on both.

Available in white, oak, or black. I don't mind the handles as they feel a lot more modern, not sure I love the rattan look of the bottom cabinet.
