mc5 - AVMA Take 2

Yes, it's another round of that classic guessing game - Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, Abstract [or any combination thereof]. This effort - '03/'04 should address any queries, but then again, may just serve to confuse and baffle which some might say is the point of the game. Patience, integrity and a decent search engine may be useful ....

Bismarck

[Raak] NO, perish the thought.
[Simons Mith] NO. The idea will be passed to MFI, though, you could be on to something.
[Boolbar] NO.

Raak

Does anything hang from it?

Bismarck

[Raak] NO, the thingummy does not so serve.

Simons Mith

Is it portable or mobile?

I found some old-fashioned portable desks and things that seem to fit all the constraints applied so far.

Boolbar

Is it some type of table?

Raak

A tallboy?

Bismarck

[Boolbar] NO, not some kind of table.
[Raak] NO, not a tallboy, though I have no doubt that a room with a tall boy, a vitrine, an elephant's foot basket and maybe a Welsh dresser would also have one of the AOTC.

Raak

Is there a specific type of thing that this thing is designed to have put on it?

Bismarck

[Raak] NO, quite the opposite.

Software

A drawer?

Raak

Is the Ikea LILLÅNGEN End Unit an example?

Bismarck

[Software] NO, drawers are very rare.
[Raak] SORT OF, but these whatchamacallits are always open framed, so you'd have to take the sides and door off, probably ditch the MDF for real wood, make the shelves smaller as they rose (optional, but traditional), and make the frame somewhat decorative carved.
I asked the Internet again and while you can still buy these things (including a modern plastic and aluminium version which gave me a frisson of horror), their heyday was before WW1.

Bismarck

And the winner is...

To be decided in a celebrity boxing match.
