This 1960s Kent Coffey Perspecta highboy dresser is one of the most recognizable and sought-after designs of the mid century modern era. Crafted in warm walnut, the dresser features the iconic carved drawer fronts that define the Perspecta line, creating a sculptural geometric pattern across the upper drawers. The clean case design, gently tapered legs, and rich walnut grain give the piece a refined architectural presence while still feeling warm and timeless.
The dresser offers a practical and versatile storage layout with three smaller upper drawers above three spacious full-width lower drawers. Sculpted drawer fronts are paired with original hardware, while the walnut grain flows beautifully across the larger drawer faces. From every angle, the craftsmanship and proportions reflect the elevated design language Kent Coffey became known for during the 1960s. The compact highboy form also makes it ideal for bedrooms where vertical storage is desired without overwhelming the space.
This dresser is in vintage as-pictured condition, showing wear consistent with age and use including surface wear, finish inconsistencies, and minor imperfections throughout. These details contribute to the original vintage character and appeal for collectors and buyers who appreciate authentic mid century modern furniture in its current condition. For those looking for a fully refinished piece, we also offer a restored option. Restoration includes a complete professional refinishing process with sanding, staining, glazing, toning, and lacquering, along with functional adjustments to ensure drawers operate smoothly and the dresser is ready for everyday use.

Condition & Restoration
Condition & Restoration
We photograph each piece in its current condition and offer two ways to purchase: as-pictured or restored. This approach gives you a clear and honest view of the item and allows you to choose the level of finish that best suits your needs.
As-Pictured:
Choosing the as-pictured option means you’ll receive the item in its current state with light cleaning and basic touch-ups completed in our warehouse. We ensure that drawers, doors, and structural elements are functional, but no deep refinishing work is performed. This option is ideal for those who appreciate the charm and patina of original vintage finishes, want to avoid additional restoration costs, or prefer a quicker turnaround without the lead time required for refinishing. It's also a great choice if you’re a collector or designer looking to integrate the piece into a space with a lived-in aesthetic.
Restored:
Selecting the restored option includes our full professional refinishing process. Once selected, the piece is transported to our workshop, where we address surface damage like lacquer failure, chips, water marks, and deep scratches. Our team sands, stains, and seals each surface where appropriate, restoring the finish while preserving the character of the original design. We also carefully adjust doors, drawers, and hardware to ensure smooth operation and reliable function. The result is a fully restored vintage furniture piece, ready for daily use and built to last for decades to come.
This dual-option model gives you the flexibility to choose what’s right for your space, style, and timeline—without compromising on quality or transparency.
Note:
Some items may only be available for purchase with restoration included. In these cases, the original condition does not meet our standards for resale without a full professional refinish.
This ensures that every piece we ship—restored or otherwise—meets the level of quality and functionality we stand behind.
Conversely, certain items—such as lighting, upholstered pieces, or otherwise—are only offered as-pictured, as we typically don’t refinish these types of items.
