    Now for the comment. Looks pretty, but not functional as a coin cabinet.
    Those skinny draws are just for looks, the drawers are deep and useless
    for coins.

    Just my opinion!

  • Thanks for the link Bob, I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer when it comes to computers.
  • This struck me as being kind of odd. It's a quality piece of furniture being solid wood with dovetail drawers yet, I don't understand why they designed it to replicate a coin cabinet when it's not.

    I think that the shallow drawers are separate, but for some reason they pulled them open in batches. The one side shot shows the center deep drawers staggered, which makes it look like it is all deep drawers.

    I may be wrong.

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    I've got a Ford F-150 coin truck if anyone is interested.
    Also, I'm looking for a coin safe that I can also keep guns in.

    The only way to make an economic system truly stable is to permit the free market to take over.

    I heard back from the guy. It does indeed have three standard-depth drawers on either side of the center drawers. Each drawer has four trim strips on its front that only look like four shallow drawers.
    In other words, not a true coin cabinet.
