R-Way Furniture Company, headquartered in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, was one of the Midwest's prominent producers of mid-century modern residential furniture through the 1950s and 1960s. The company distinguished itself by offering well-constructed, design-forward pieces at accessible price points, making the clean lines and functional elegance of the MCM aesthetic available to a broad American market. R-Way's bedroom and storage furniture in particular is prized today for its confident proportions and high-quality construction.
This triple dresser is an exemplary expression of R-Way's design vocabulary at its most refined. The case presents a wide, low-slung profile with a raised upper tier housing six small drawers arranged in two symmetrical rows — fitted with small round pulls — above a lower body divided into three zones. Two flanking sections each accommodate a pair of large, deep drawers fitted with elongated brass bar pulls, while the center section features a distinctive woven cane panel that adds warmth and visual texture to the otherwise clean case. Throughout, the piece rests on four slender, sharply tapered legs that splay slightly outward and terminate in elegant brass ferrules — a signature detail that captures the precise, decorative spirit of 1960s American modernism.
The case is constructed in walnut, displaying the warm reddish-brown tones and subtle figuring characteristic of this prized American hardwood. The combination of solid walnut and walnut veneer provides both structural integrity and the rich, unified grain pattern that defines the piece's refined surface.
This dresser is in vintage as-pictured condition, showing wear consistent with age and use. These characteristics appeal to those who appreciate the original patina and history of a vintage piece. For those seeking a fully refreshed look, we also offer a restored option. Restoration includes a full professional refinishing process involving sanding, staining, glazing, toning, and lacquering, along with functional adjustments to ensure long-term durability and a smooth, even finish.

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.
