Preferably, the flat sidesof the sectionare defined by vertical stiles 15 to which the semi-circular walls 12 are attached, and horizontal upper and lower frame members 16 and 17 to which the 'stiles15 are connected. The sections are joinedby hinges 18 .which are attached to-the stiles 15, and, each section is formed -with supporting casters-19which allows for the relative openingmovement of the sections or the rolling of the entire cabinet over the supporting surface or floor. The open flat sides of the sections are preferably closed ner edgesof the stiles 15. 7 One of the sections, namely, the section 11 is designed as a clothesc loset, and is hence equipped with a clothes- ;hanger supporting bar 21suspended from-its ipper end tovreceive the usual form of clothes hangers 23. A mirrorB/i is fulcrumed on a ,verticalaxis of a bracket 25, which bracket in turn is hinged on a vertical axis to the inner stile 15, whereby the mirror may be swung from an inactive housed position within the cabinet section 11 to an active outwardly proj ecting position as illustrated in Fig. 6.

Theouter face or sideof the drop leaf carries a mirror 39, which mirror isdesigned to cooperate with the mirror 24 for obtaining a doublereflection by relative adjust a 3 ment of the mirror 24 with-respect to the mirror 39 when the drop'leaf is in a "raised normal position.
