Wooden Chiffonier

Melanie from Botany Downs

This chiffonier has been in the family for over 50 years.

While I'm unsure of the type of wood, it remains in reasonably good condition given its age.

The key for the cabinet doors is currently misplaced, but I’ll do my best to locate it before collection.

This chiffonier has been in the family for over 50 years.

While I'm unsure of the type of wood, it remains in reasonably good condition given its age.

The key for the cabinet doors is currently misplaced, but I’ll do my best to locate it before collection.

With a light sand and a coat of varnish, it has great potential to be restored to its former charm.

Width: 1200mm
Depth: 550mm
Desk top height: 930mm
Total height: 1360mm

Feel free to ask any questions.

Artificial intelligence programs such as ChatGPT are here to stay - the question now is, how will they shape the future? Will the use of AI to complete daily tasks, particularly school work, impact cognitive abilities and creativity?

Recent work out of a MIT Media Lab suggests that people who used ChatGPT have lower brain engagement than those who did not when writing their essays. While the MIT Media Lab work has driven headlines recently, others have been quick to remind us that the fear of technology is nothing new.

We want to know: Is AI an addition to the technological toolbox, or should we be having bigger conversations about the impact of AI technology?
