There are 12 cabinet drawers that measure 7" x 6 1/2" and 2 cabinet drawers that measure 14 1/2" x 7". Some of the lettering is difficult to distinguish but I have made my best effort of identifying the drawer contents. There are no herbs/medicinals in there drawers. They are all empty. Please carefully inspect the photos to determine the cabinet's condition. Please do not hesitate to ask questions and I will do my best to answer them. I encourage picking up the cabinet directly from me but shipping can be arranged where that would not be convenient. Will entertain REASONABLE offers.
