Anyway, our midmod home has built-in drawers that look just like yours! Ours appear to never had any hardware on them. Since each drawer flares out at the bottom, they seem to be designed to be grasped from the bottom lip to pull the drawer out. Or, at least, that's how we've been using them. Julie,

My husband, who does some woodworking, thinks the piece could be sugar maple, with the top and verticle supports appearing solid, and the door and drawer fronts probably veneer. But, he stresses that this is a guess coming from just looking at the photo. We have the pinky coppery hardware on our maple kitchen cabinets (recently purchased at the ReStore) and we really like the look.
