The Shakers mastered the art of wooden storage systems like nobody else, ever. In large parts, this mastery was the inevitable result of a philosophical approach to life that mandated cleanliness and organisation. Because of the premium they placed on an ordered lifestyle, storage systems that could keep clutter out of sight - and easily accessible - were the subject of a good deal of imaginative Shaker thought.
