45 Things With Mysterious Purposes People Couldn’t Identify

A “chest of drawers with no drawer sides and a hole at the front of the drawer” is certainly confusing. I mean, how can you store anything in this drawer cabinet? It would fall right out. That seems pretty useless. However, as Reddit revealed, this cabinet has a specific purpose, and there’s a reason why it’s designed this way.

It’s an artist’s cabinet! Also known as a flat file, this drawer cabinet stores large papers such as paintings and other pieces of artwork. The drawers have no sides, so you can slide your artwork inside, place it in the cabinet safely, and take it out smoothly without bending it and potentially ruining its shape.
