Kaidan Chest

Store desk things in a stepped drawer chest

A desk-size kaidan dansu, the Japanese staircase chest: a three-drawer tower with ring pulls steps down to a 70 mm open tray beside it. Small things go in the drawers, the tray takes the keys and phone, and the stepped silhouette looks like furniture, not plastic.
