Hi,
I am hoping someone can shed some info on this cabinet.
I have tried to post a photo, and a link to the website which has several other photos.
Thanks in advance.

nope
nothing from HM as they never used wheels on anything other than chairs, and secreataial file cabints designed by George Nelson
I have one in my office,
does not even look like Nelson
other than the PrimaVera color ,
I think the neat thing about this forum between Barry,Whitespike , myself and a few others it is pretty easy for us to spot what is NOT.......
some one should email the dude who has that up on the web and tell him not to waste our time if he does not have a clue who really makes it, instead of thinking there is some dummy out there who will say yes that is the ticket ..... if you don't know what it is simply say i have no idea but don't jack inocent people around saying it early Herman Miller George Nelson,
Here is what the guy says Where are the labels did some kid take them off???
Rare George Nelson/Herman Miller Cabinet - 1960s
Rare George Nelson cabinet manufactured by the Herman Miller Company. Date: 1960s; Dimensions: 29"h x 20-1/2"w x 17-1/2"d. Medium/Materials: Teak wood; aluminum pulls; aluminum frame; perforated aluminum backplate; brushed cast aluminum pole-feet w/ steel and industrial-grade nylon wheels; formica top; aluminum drawers; and reinforced enameled steel cross beam support/base underneath for added stability; Condition: good vintage condition, some minor dings here and there, but ready to go. Recently given a good cleaning.
This rare cabinet was manufactured briefly in the 1960s, then discontinued. Will make a great printer cabinet with good storage for paper, pens, stapler, etc.
rare and discontinued
it looks like a cabinet designed for a doctor's or dentist's office. you know, one of those with stainless steel drawers for storing those tongue pushy-down-popsicle stick things and cute little rolls of dental floss.
i did notice from the description that it is both rare and discontinued. that should make it worth more than it's worth.
Just like everything modern on eBay is Eames
I'm sure the guy had it wrong, but, on the plus side, it does look like they used some nice wood, so whatever it is, it looks to be something of a quality piece.
I have two iiL cabinets, made by a separate company in Canada that was later bought out by Herman Miller, and I've seen them referred to as being designed by Florence Knoll.....no markings on them, but I know they're iiL.
don't believe the hype!.......it's institutional contract furniture!
as previously stated this furniture was marketed for medical, dental and special care facilities. almost always on casters for practical reasons. this example is of an ealier more modernist vintage compared to what we saw the last time we were in a hospital visiting with our favorite uncle johnny. they are far from rare, just check out your next local surplus county auction or used medical surplus sale.
