    If so, any idea on what they are called?

    Thank you!

    I *think* they made that style of storage for some shops - like hardware, and perhaps other stores, but I don't know if they made any that had "steps" like this one.

    If you want one that is stepped, you will have to buy a saw.:rolleyes:

    Thanks guys.

    I know they are called storage cabinets, but isn't there a particular name for the 'L-shaped' example I posted above? Were there vintage or antique versions of this style cabinet? If so, I'm trying to find out what they are called and/or who *might* have designed that type/style cabinet.

    I am finding some under "stepped storage units".

    Thank you, Messi!

    I'm finding a number of them under "stepped cabinets".

    Again, thank you!

    You're welcome. Rro has one, I think she brought it back from Japan.

    Hi,
    I also had two art deco book cases stepped like that. They made great end tables for a sofa.

    I think I remember that was it with her wood dolls, maybe on a find thread, so pretty

    Hi Shiloh,
    There are many different kinds. When I was in Japan my friends had them stacked as stairs to reach the loft in their tiny house.
