I work at a cabinet shop that builds commercial millwork for banks, schools, businesses, etc. This is a check writing stand we built for a bank in the Ozarks, Arkansas. The box was built out of radiatta pine, then covered in a cherry veneer, and hardwood cherry trim was applied.
The worst part of this check writing stand was having to build it twice because when the contractor hauled it to the jobsite he didn't have it secure enough and it came off the truck and got destroyed, after it got stained and finished. This is why we prefer using an enclosed box van for our deliveries.
Here is a close up of the profile in the corner.
Front view. It's sitting on a cart ready to move to the delivery truck, that's why it's sitting at an angle.
Here is a corner view so you can see both sides of the box.

Nice work. I will never see it though because I despise going into banks.

Nicest piece of furniture that will be unappreciated at its final destination.
Quarantane
The teller line we built is pretty nice to, I'm sure that will be appreciated

How many checks do you write that this was necessary?
Quarantane
It's for a bank. It holds deposit slips and all that kind of stuff, for their customers.

Oh, a cheque writing stand. SMH. Americans.

Worst part of building it was that it was obsolete before completion.
Quarantane
The bank who paid for it didn't seem to think so.

That is gorgeous. When you have these things going longer distances, do you crate them, or have someone crate them?
Quarantane
No, we give it to the contactor and then it's on them to deliver it safely. This g.c. had 3 things break on this job due to improper hauling
Quarantane
And the contractor had to pay us to rebuild them. They're not happy with that g.c. right now.

Doofus. I used to build crates for a company that built things like this. New manager took over and decided they weren't necessary.
Quarantane
Well we priced it for them to deliver it, if they wanted us to price a crate we would have. They don't even have a covered trailer
Quarantane
Sent a load of paint grade cabinets out when they wanted, told them it would rain and it was a bad idea, got told to load them anyways.

Maybe you guys could build a cabinet for my doctor/barber to keep his ether bottles, straight razors and plague spices
Quarantane
I'm sure we could, if he can pay

Even when they can pay they try to weasel out half the time ...
Quarantane
Yeah, especially churches. Working for churches is the worst.
