The plain apron is flush and butt-joined to the underside of the frame top, mitred and half-lapped (?) into the tops of the square legs which taper to the very vertical horse hoof foot.

A drawer unit consisting of an eight-part frame tenoned into the inside edge of the legs with a flush floating panel to the top and slightly recessed panels to the sides and back is fitted with a drawer with a raised bead and turned handle. Beneath the lower rails are short-shaped solid spandrels.
