Library card catalog cabinet for sale- lots of drawers, great shape, micromanage your stuff!

We purchased a bunch of these, but now realized we don't have room for them all.
Removed from a library in Manhattan. $500 for the piece, they usually cost much more.
Exactly as pictured in photo- but drawers are on BOTH front and back of piece.
Each side looks the same and has 72 drawers- for a total of 144 drawers in total.

Excellent condition- great for sorting office supplies, wine collection, tools and hardware, art supplies etc.
Would also make a great store or retail display piece- eyeglasses, jewelry, organize your small inventory.

This piece is BIG- about 40" deep, 42" wide and 69" tall. The drawers come out for easier, lighter moving, but it is still heavy.

All in all, a very unique and vintage piece of furniture- kind of a midcentury look to it.  More photos available in Craigslist ad- just search "library card catalog" and it will come up with more photos.

Buyer will pickup from ground floor storage space in Gowanus, Brooklyn- no stairs.
