Chestnut Miniature TV Cabinet

A low media cabinet with drawers for a dollhouse living room, in chestnut or white with black metal handles. A low piece is what a living room wants against the wall opposite the seating: it holds the space without closing it down, and it leaves the wall above free for a picture, a clock or a shelf. It is held to the 1:12 dollhouse scale used across the Mini Furniture range, so it sits level with the seating, tables and beds listed alongside it.

You pay $26.99, and the compare-at price is $34.99. Two options are listed: chestnut with black handles, and white with black metal handles. Those are the option labels, so the choice here is finish rather than size. Two photographs come with this piece, both labelled as option photos, one for each finish. There is also a 2 for $45.99 badge on the page, which is the figure to use if two rooms would take the same cabinet.

It sits with the low pieces in the Mini Furniture range, where the seating, tables and beds for the rest of the house are listed. The chestnut finish sits in beside the other chestnut and mahogany pieces on the site, while the white option is the one to take if the room is already light and you would rather the cabinet receded than stood out.

Against the main wall of a living room it can carry a scene on its own, and because it is low, anything placed above it stays visible from across the room. Place it before the seating if you can, since the seating can then be turned to face it rather than the other way round. In a room box that is short of space it works just as well as a side piece beside a bed or in a hallway, where a low cabinet is easier to fit past than a tall one.

The drawers and the black handles are what stop the front of the piece reading as a plain box against the wall, and they are also the parts to be careful with. Lift the cabinet by its body rather than by a drawer front or a handle, set it down on a flat surface, and dust it with a soft dry brush instead of a damp cloth.
