★★★★★“Spend the extra to get it refurbished!”Dustin, Etsy review

This 1960s vintage Mid Century Modern pair of nightstands, designed by the husband and wife team Helen Hobey Baker, showcases a distinctive sculptural form with subtle angles and thoughtful detailing throughout. Each nightstand features a gently faceted front, accented by a long, carved vertical wood pull that adds both visual depth and a tactile element. The warm walnut grain carries consistently across each surface, while tapered legs with brass-capped feet give the pair a light, elevated profile true to the era.

The storage layout is both unique and highly functional. Each nightstand includes a cabinet door that opens to a spacious interior, paired with a drop-down compartment that reveals an open storage space—ideal for keeping bedside essentials tucked away but easily accessible. Below, a single drawer provides additional concealed storage. This layered configuration offers versatility while maintaining a clean, streamlined exterior, reflecting the thoughtful design approach associated with Helen Hobey Baker.

These nightstands are in vintage original condition with wear consistent with age and use, including surface scratches, finish wear, and signs of use as shown in the photos. They are available as-is for those who appreciate their original character, or can be professionally restored. Restoration would include a full refinishing process along with ensuring the drawer, doors, and drop-down compartments operate smoothly, while preserving the integrity and design of the original pieces.
