Know before you buy
The Whitebird storage cupboard utilizes a push-open mechanism for both the door and the drawer. This design eliminates the need for external handles, maintaining the piece's clean, minimalist aesthetic.
The oak is finished with a protective varnish, which makes it relatively low-maintenance. Simply wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and spills, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the varnish.
Yes, the cupboard is supported by sturdy black metal legs. While the metal is durable, we recommend using felt pads under the feet to prevent any potential scratching or scuffing on your hardwood flooring.
Due to its substantial height and weight of 247 lbs, it is highly recommended to secure the cupboard to the wall using an appropriate anti-tip kit to ensure maximum stability and safety.
The unit features a vertical configuration with one door and one drawer. While it is compact in width at 43.5 inches, its height provides significant vertical storage, making it ideal for organizing dinnerware, linens, or books in smaller footprints.
