Design Within Reach delivers the credenza after a (planned) two-month wait
That’s oak painted black with a green marble top. The fittings are brass. From DWR’s description: Designed by the all-female trio Egg Collective, the Morrison Credenza (2012) is a modern interpretation of classic casegoods. The multifunctional black oak cabinet features four soft-close doors, four adjustable shelves, and two cord escapes. Its smaller scale allows it to fit in tight spaces, while its heirloom-quality details, including a Verde Indio marble top and solid brass knobs, make this sideboard worthy of center stage. We ordered it in late August during a 20%-off sale.
That’s where we originally thought we could hang a TV with the wires hidden behind the wall.
