We were lucky enough to purchase these pieces from a time capsule estate outfitted with premium furnishings. These hickory wood cabinets have been delicately restored by our in-house cabinet shop. Both tops were refinished. The dressers offer ample storage considering their proportions. Each cabinet has three, deep drawers with circular chrome pulls, outlined in chrome trim. The fine finishes make them stand out in a crowd. Hickory is not commonly seen on American modern furniture. The gorgeous honey colored, richly modeled grain is a real showstopper.
