There is a slide-out wood, built-in ironing board (small, for a sleeve) right below the countertop; an upper compartment accessible by sliding opaque glass doors (kind of like in 60s bathrooms), then two smaller drawers with silver boomerang handles, and below that a two-door lower cabinet with 2 slide-out shelves.. There is no name as far as I can tell as to the manufacturer. I can’t find anything on an internet search as to a “vintage steel cabinet” or “chest” – that mostly gives me office furniture or actual kitchen cabinets (this is a standalone) I am toying with the idea of painting it white, but don’t want to mess with it if it is worth any money. Any ideas?

I know this piece of furniture is not antique, that is why I said vintage. Vintage and antique are two different things…. this piece of furniture is special to me and i do not care for valuation, just information on its style and possible maker… but, my project is finished and don’t need any more answers….
