Therefore, it can give a sense of dignity and luxury not only from a distance but also when viewed up close. This gives a dignified impression to customers who use the store where it is installed.
[0008] In addition, the Japanese chest of drawers counter of this invention has a shelf at the back that is open toward the back, and a drawer that can be pulled out and extended toward the back, so that documents, telephones, fax machines, etc. used in a store can be placed there so that they are not visible from the front, making it functional.
[0009] In the Japanese chest of drawers counter of the present invention, the chest of drawers is preferably one that is highly decorative and has a particularly solid and luxurious feel, such as Iwayado chest of drawers or Sendai chest of drawers, etc. In this case, it can give a particularly elegant impression to the store or the like in which it is used.

The top plate may be made of the same material as the top plate of the Japanese chest of drawers, and both side plates may be made of the same material as the side plates of the Japanese chest of drawers. In this case, the entire area visible to customers using the store where the counter is installed can have the appearance of a Japanese chest of drawers, giving it a more solid and luxurious feel.

In the specific example shown in Fig. 1, the Japanese chest is an Iwayado chest.
[0015] As shown in Figure 1(a), Japanese chest of drawers counter 10 has multiple fixed plates 11 and multiple decorative metal fittings 12 on its front. Each fixed plate 11 is made of the same material as the front plate of a Japanese chest of drawers, and its surface and sides are lacquered. Each fixed plate 11 is fixed in the same arrangement as the drawers of the Japanese chest of drawers. In addition, each decorative metal fitting 12 is made of the same chest of drawers fittings as the Japanese chest of drawers, and is attached to each fixed plate 11 in the same arrangement as the chest of drawers fittings of the Japanese chest of drawers.
[0016] As shown in Figure 1 (b), the Japanese chest of drawers counter 10 has shelves 13 that are open toward the rear side, and drawers 14 that are removable toward the rear side. The shelves 13 are divided into three levels, an upper level, a middle level, and a lower level, in the vertical direction, and the upper and middle levels are divided into four levels and the lower level into two levels in the horizontal direction. Drawers 14 are attached to three of the upper shelves 13 and two of the lower shelves 13.

The surfaces and sides of the top plate 15 and side plates 16 are lacquered. Decorative metal fittings 12 are also attached to the side plates 16. The top plate 15 and side plates 16 may also be made of building materials such as melamine laminate or polyester resin laminate.
[0018] In the specific example shown in Fig. 1, the Japanese chest of drawers counter 10 is 180 cm wide, 45 cm deep, and 90 cm high. As shown in Fig. 1(d), the Japanese chest of drawers counter 10 may have a wiring hole 17 that communicates with the middle shelf 13 and the lower shelf 13, for passing wires for, for example, a telephone, facsimile, computer, and peripheral devices when they are placed there.

[0021] Next, the operation will be described. The Japanese chest of drawers counter 10 has a fixed plate 11 made of the same material as the front plate of the drawers 14 of the Japanese chest of drawers, which is fixed in the same arrangement as the drawers 14 of the Japanese chest of drawers, and decorative metal fittings 12 made of chest of drawers metal fittings are attached to each fixed plate 11 in the same arrangement as the chest of drawers metal fittings of the Japanese chest of drawers, and the top plate 15 is also made of the same material as the top plate of the Japanese chest of drawers, and the side plates 16 on both sides are also made of the same material as the side plates of the Japanese chest of drawers, so that the entire area visible to customers using the store or the like in which it is installed can have the same appearance as a Japanese chest of drawers. In addition, since it has the same appearance as an Iwayado chest of drawers, which is particularly highly decorative and has a sense of dignity and luxury, it can give a sense of dignity and luxury not only from a distance but also when viewed up close.
