Well..what also makes me think that this is an altered Knoll piece is because of the interior...looks the same on my old battleship. Now someone needs to karate chop those silly antenna legs off toot sweet. Hang the sons-a-bitch on the wall, as intended.

Agreed. Interior looks KNoll ...
Agreed. Interior looks KNoll too. Loose the legs. Hang it! Hanging cabinets are cooooooool.

Well luckily, this little cabinet survived without the sliding door's having a lock/key added. I had a hell of a time locating mine sans-the- lock..until a wonderful little fundraiser at Cranbrook happened one bitter December night, many full moons ago. There sat my future case good. Florence would be so proud.
but I digress.......

The legs reflect
the style that Steel Case pieces have. Additionally, I was traveling through my wife's college and there were these Knoll like three seat benches that had the same hollowed out legs with white caps. Naturally, I had to look underneathe and the manufacturer was? Perhaps I will take another trip.
Furthermore, in the future I will work on the redundancy of furniture identifications. Perhaps I will start posting our trips to Palm Springs and the amazing desert design that we are encountering.
Lastly, were are heading to New Haven in two weeks and have plans to tour New Caanan. More specifically, the Harvard Five houses. It would be great to meet any forum members who live out that way to give us ideas on what we should set out to observe. Blessings and may peace be with you.......

the first pic you posted is what it looked like new, yes i believe the legs were changed out, that pic you posted was pretty much the exact credenza that i have, the owner gave me the original legs aswell.
is it possible to be knoll

well lets see the original le...
well lets see the original legs then. Pop them on! Why didn't you say so?!
I'd say it is possible, yes. Likely even.

those houses are really...
those houses are really nice. but must be a bitch to heat and everybody could see you if you wanted to walk around naked.

Errrr ummm
Welcome back, Lit Up.

It be cool if it was...
I looked at all the pics and its really similar to the ones on Google, I feel like it would say Knoll somewhere you know? But maybe not.
What makes me doubt that it is the work of Florence Knoll is the fact that the top is a laminate top (just the top)... Everything else seems to be correct and Solid wood, it is very possibly that the original top is under it and someone put the laminate top on to get rid of scratches, this thing must have come from a school of abusive kids, i had to sand it down to get it to look even this good, they had wrote there names all in the insides too! but its all off now.
Anyway heres a few pics of it...

On this one its showing that the top is laminate, its also a dark smokey brown vs. the red wood or teak.
Thankss guyss

Looks like
The laminate may have been added later.... Just like the legs.

A laminate top was an option...
A laminate top was an option on Knoll credenzas. However, I can't tell if your credenza has an original top.
This is a photo of a 1958 Knoll credenza with walnut veneer and a laminate top. The colour of the top appears to be similar to yours.

Thanks podboy
That is pretty much the exact model I Found, Although mine has no way of telling its actually knoll cause there is no labels or markings besides that, they are almost identical. Mine looks a little longer, but it may just be the picture.
Good find i guess (:

Where logo is....?
does anyone have any idea where the logo could be found on it, I know that Knoll sometimes Hides them oddly enough, one of my chairs has it discretely pressed into the iron, it would take a long time to find for an average guy.
I havent looked Hard yet. but will tonight to see what i can come up with.

My vintage Knoll credenza...
My vintage Knoll credenza only has a label, nothing embossed or stamped. The label can easily fall off over the years.
