I saw this bookcase on a blog and I fell in love! It works beautifully as a hutch. I store my dishes, cake pedestals, and special stemware. It is a definite conversation piece. I know this sounds strange, but I love the smell of the teakwood.  Every time I open it the smell is intoxicating! The ornate handle and locking mechanism make this piece very sophisticated. I highly recommend this bookcase for your home.
