Johnny Folding Storage Shelf and Crate System

This is a versatile, utilitarian shelving unit constructed from light-colored plywood, characterized by a modular 'Johnny' design that allows two independent units to fold together into a closed box or crate configuration for transport. The unit features thin-profile wooden panels with a natural pale finish, showcasing light grain patterns. Its construction utilizes simple joinery and vertical dividers that create open cubby spaces of varying widths, suitable for books, magazines, or small collectibles. Based on physical indicators, this is a contemporary functional piece, likely dating from the early 21st century, focusing on mobile living or flexible interior design. The surface exhibits visible signs of use and distress, including several dark circular rings on the lower shelf suggesting moisture damage or staining from cups/objects, and a generally worn patina on the top surface. The edges show minor delamination typical of structural plywood, and several scuffs are visible across the horizontal planes. Despite these condition issues, the structural integrity appears sound, and the minimalist aesthetic highlights its industrial-utility origins and DIY-inspired craftsmanship style.
