Know before you buy
The perforated doors were historically designed to allow air to circulate around cooling pies, preventing moisture buildup. Today, this feature makes the cabinet an excellent choice for storing items that benefit from airflow, such as linens, dry goods, or pantry staples.
The current shelves are made of thin plywood and are best suited for lighter items. If you plan to store heavy appliances or large stacks of dishes, we recommend reinforcing or replacing the shelves with thicker solid wood or sturdier material.
No, this piece arrives fully assembled. You can place it directly into your space as soon as it is delivered.
The cabinet is in very nice condition, featuring a rich wood tone and authentic aged hardware. As a vintage piece, it displays minor surface wear that is consistent with its age, which adds to its historical character.
The pie safe measures 22 inches wide, 13 inches deep, and 49 inches high. Its narrow footprint makes it a versatile storage solution for smaller kitchens, hallways, or dining areas.
