The drawers incorporate pine linings, constructed with hand dovetail joints. The central drawer retains its original steel lock, with a working key. The base is raised on four-baluster ring turned supports, united by a pot-board base below, where the planks run front to back. The dresser has been constructed in the traditional method using the joined peg construction method.

The dresser features a rich mid brown oak colour. It has a lovely colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received (it cannot be recreated by re-polishing).
