Abstract
Abstract A cabinet, preferably matching bedroom furniture, has a pair of center-opening doors each opening a half cabinet, divided from the other by a vertical partition. On the bottom of each half is a drawer for certain items. Partitions which swing on verticalaxis hinges are provided on one or both sides with hooks, trays or apertures to hold various items of jewelry. The inside of the back of the cabinet has pegs to hang other items. Thus, each of the common types of jewelry is accommodated in a separate location which is easily accessible and readily visible and tangling of different items is avoided. Many items can be stored in an organized fashion in very little space.
