What is a tambour cabinet?
A tambour cabinet is one that is positioned vertically so it can store more stuff in a smaller space. One of the noted features of these cabinets are the tambour doors—little slats of wood that roll so the door can be slid up or to the sides and hidden without taking up additional space.
