This is an original 1953 ESU 240-N Shelving Unit designed by Ray and Charles Eames for Herman Miller in 1949. This unit dates to 1953 and will be accompanied by its original receipt from 1953. This line was discontinued in 1955, and was re-released in 1998 after a 43 year break. The frame is composed of perforated steel extrusions with diagonal bracing that were coated in zinc, and the panels are fiber board with white, black, and grey colors. The plywood sliding doors are made of birch plywood with a maple face veneer, and were molded with circular indentations which increased their durability and their resistance to warping. The top had a couple of light marks, which we lightly sanded and blended with finish. Otherwise, the cabinet appears to be completely original.
The shelving unit measures 16.75 inches deep, 47 inches wide, and 32.5 inches high. The legs show some scratches and there is some wear to the veneer on one door. Overall, this unit is in very good condition. Please see photos.

The buyer may pick up the furniture, have it shipped by our shipping partners (buyer will pay for full shipping cost, though will not have to arrange it), or discuss potential delivery within reason following the end of the auction. The listed shipping cost is an estimate, though we can likely stay below that number for most areas of the country. If you win the item, we can discuss shipping options, prices, etc. and we will make sure that it is as inexpensive for you as possible. We work with a shipper locally who takes great care in their work and has been complemented often on their packing and shipping quality.
