- Isn't "bureau" rather idiomatic when describing a desk (or bedroom chest?) with drawers?
- Maybe I'd recommend THIS as an alternative if I didn't think the whole idea was lame...
- And if I was completely desperate, I'd provide creative alternatives like THESE TWO.
- (because a squishy cat named Bredren sitting in a drawer is still just a cat in a drawer...)
- (and it would be a missed opportunity not to refer to Chapter 10 or to our very own meme)
