Know before you buy
As a genuine vintage piece from the 1940s, this dresser features authentic wear consistent with its age. We recommend inspecting the finish for minor character marks that reflect its history.
The six drawers are constructed from solid wood and are designed for standard daily use. Because this is a vintage piece, you may find that the drawers have a traditional wood-on-wood glide rather than modern metal runners.
With a footprint of 34 inches wide and 16 inches deep, this piece is quite compact for a six-drawer dresser. Its 32-inch height also makes it a versatile option that won't overwhelm a smaller room.
Yes, both dressers are matching pieces from the same era. They are sold individually, but they are designed to be used as a pair if you are looking for a symmetrical look in your space.
To preserve the wood, avoid placing the dresser in direct sunlight or near heat sources, which can cause the material to dry out. We recommend using a high-quality furniture wax or oil periodically to keep the finish hydrated and protected.
