It does not come with a key.
Old “Suribako” boxes in good condition are popular in Japan, and just placing them in a room as furniture can cool the atmosphere of the room.

This furniture is called "kakesuribako" (掛摺箱), which dates from the Edo period (1603-1868) to the early Meiji period (1868-1912).
In its standard form, the inner box is hung over the edge of the outer box, and can hold calligraphy tools, ink, and water, or drawers can be made to hold small items separately, or lids can be hung.

condition...
It is in good condition, but has stains and scratches from age. It also does not have a key. The top lid requires a strong push on the knob to open and close. Part of a small drawer front is missing. The hardware is also damaged and rusted.
None of these are problematic for use and are ready to use.

I list antiques that sometimes have chips, rubbings and cracks
as they are very old antiques so please check the images and understand the current
condition before buying.
