Nice! I know of an old round wooden table, that had 4 drawers one could see from the outside.
Only if all 4 (long) drawers were completely removed, an extra 5th hidden round drawer/basket became visible that you could then carefully "push out" 😎
True craftmanship!

I love conjugation. (a^-1.b.a)^-1 = a^-1.b^-1.a where a=rotate skirt, b=rotate top.
