The highboy is composed of two main sections: the upper section with three smaller drawers atop two larger ones, and a lower section with two large drawers, all adorned with brass handles. The top part of the highboy has a decorative pediment with a central finial and two smaller finials on either side. The piece rests on four legs with carved details.
