I'm an herbalist, and I needed a place to keep all of my various bags and bottles of dried herbs. Typically I'd just put them on a storage shelf, but the only open space in my new house is a corner in my dining room, so it had to look good. The cabinet is really pretty, my only complaint was that whatever is used  to treat the wood was REALLY fragrant for a few days after we got it and I had to air it out.
