    I received this cabinet from my great grandma, just wondering if anyone would have idea's of what it would be or used for. There's a small door on the front that locks and the top of it comes off. There seems to be a hole on the inside of the cabinet. I looked all over it trying to find a number or name and there isn't anything. I attached some pictures for reference.

    Let me know if you have any questions.

      Hi, welcome to CW :-)
      You don't give the height, but this shape is usually for a night stand and the compartment with a door was for the chamber pot storage.
      Usually, they had a marble top.
      The hole is a mystery, and don't think it has an intended purpose!

      The height is 29" which leaves me to believe its not a night stand.
