Kroehler 9 Drawer Lowboy


Here is a 9 drawer Kroehler lowboy dresser in very nice condition. This dresser is wood wrapped vinyl just like the mirror from the same set listed bellow. This guy has a no fuss Formica top with minimal surface ware. Very easy to clean and maintain, Windex is all you need to make him shine. Very sturdy with lots of storage. Ya gotta love that cutaway on the bottom support, it gives the piece a floating quality. 

Speaking from experience, lowboys like this are a great alternative to traditional changing tables. They have lots of room inside for clothes, diapers or various other baby stuff. They are also the perfect height for a changing table, just add a changing pad to the top. Plus when your kid grows out of the diaper phase you have a cool functional piece of furniture to use. 

Is that tiny piece of  paper in the foreground bothering anyone else as much as it's bothering me?

Large Kroehler Hanging Wall Mirror

 

Here we have a very cool Kroehler wall mirror in wonderful condition. The wood frame is vinyl wrapped, which is nice because you can clean the entire thing with Windex. Wood and glass are always at war, the wood oil smudges on the glass, the alcohol in the Windex dries out the wood, no worries with this guy, Windex all over. This mirror hangs flush against the wall, I angled it down so it didn't reflect the workshop lights. The glass is chip, crack and scratch free. This would look perfect hanging over your mid century flagstone fireplace.

*the reflection in the mirror shows you a sneak peak of things to come*

Bassett "Avante" Full or Queen Bed



One of the hardest things to find is a cool mid century bed, why that is I don't know. And even when you do find one they are almost always full beds. Here we have an awesome 1969 Bassett "Avante" full or queen size bed, the frame and headboard will adjust to suit either. As you can see from the photos it's in near flawless condition. I purchased this from the original owner, it had been in the same house since it was  purchased new. The bed is part of a 4 piece set that I will be posting over the next few days. Buy multiple pieces and save some cash.
