The dresser illustrates the Greta Grossman's penchant for exceptional shapes and unusual pairing of materials. The slender metal legs with ball-shaped feet, a characteristic trait of Grossman, contrasts the sharp rectangular shape in luxurious American walnut, giving the furniture a characteristic appearance of lightness and almost seeming to defy gravity. Adding to its elegance, the dresser is provided with a deep, black full gloss finish on the tabletop and small solid wooden spheres.

Grossman was clearly influenced by the principles of the Case Study Houses - the series of postwar experiments in American residential architecture commissioned by Arts & Architecture magazine. From the 1940s to the 1960s, Grossman was the only female architect in Los Angeles to own an independent practice. Grossman would often complete her builds with custom textiles, ceramics, furniture and lighting fixtures, and it is her furniture - such as the Modern Line Sofa and 62 Series Desk and her lighting designs, including the Gräshoppa Lamp and Cobra Lamp, for which she is best known today.
