Unfortunately the illusion breaks if you try to make the L go in the other direction:

  cabinet 200cm x 92cm top 3cm bottom 15cm scale 5
       50cm     *        *        20cm
  *   drawer   door     door     drawer
  *   drawer   ^        ^        drawer
  *   ^        >        ^        drawer
  *   >        drawer   drawer   <

(Also to GP: on here the indentation triggers code blocks where * won't italic, so no need to escape them)
