Slope what slope. This is a sheer cliff with no way of stopping. I finally completely lost it and ordered it. In case you don't know what it is it's an Aristocrat. I just got my mini which turned out to be completely full before it arrived . I definitely went bigger this time and ordered the Aristocrat M-25D. Ordered it to match the mini. Dark red mahogany, beveled glass doors, inlay top, one full extension drawer and adjustable shelves.
