    Hello, Kristina. I think we're going to need a bigger picture (and one that isn't about to fall off a cliff. ;))

    Perhaps this might help a bit. I would guess the 'pegs' are for holding spools of thread.

    For sewing? Is this a sewing table?

    Do you have some spools of thread handy? Try it out & see if there is enough clearance to open & close the drawer. I can envision pins, needles and scissors in the tray part.
