Low Kang Chest, Black Lacquer h160 Great as a small sideboardThis black lacquer low TV unit is one of our own more modern designs, but with Chinese style that harks back to those early pieces. Low cabinets and tables were in use from early on in China's history, particularly in the colder northern provinces, where low furniture would be placed on the heated 'kang' platform that formed the main living space in the winter months. It is ideal as a TV stand, with an open shelf for a DVD player or digital box
