on last week i came across this in a thrift store. i actually wanted it for myself. unfortunately i had no place for it, but it was so modern, yet i knew it was quite dated. vintage pieces hold so much quality. since it was solid wood i knew the possibilities were endless. as i moved in closer to inspect it, something amazing happened.
yea. they separate. i have NEVER seen this before. so it immediately lead me to my 10 year old client's room that i have been trying to finish up, but had been unable to source appropriately size bedside tables at the right price.
the width of each separated piece is exactly what i have been looking for. i often feel bedroom side table are wimpy. too small. too short. the only thing left to do is create a base for them. which is going to be simple.
since my client had reservations...still. i sent her this image to let her salivate a little bit. it worked.
now i wont be doing any wild colors, but this addition will certainly customize this room even more.
kind of awesome huh?
THRIFT TIP: when looking for pieces of furniture in a thrift store, flea market or garage sale, make sure to check the construction.
dovetail construction is a good indication that the piece is older and more than likely of good quality wood.

You definitely scored with this one. I know what you mean about bedside tables...genius!
Beautiful piece of furniture!

What a piece!!!!!!
Oh my word. Score! Congratulations :)
this is an interesting piece. i am curious to why it pulls apart? do you know, rashon?
@The Thrifty Picker:? i have no clue why this piece pulls apart. seems a bit ahead of its time. i really wouldnt know where to start my research in finding an answer.
How cool is that? I've never seen anything like that!
Enjoyed the post! I am currently thrifting for a table to put my TV on... something like this would be perfect. Good find :)
Amazing find! Can't wait to see what you do with it
Amazing find!!! Can't wait to see your twist on it ;)
So in love with them, very unique!
Before you do anything with this, I would definitely find out what the purpose of it is. I'm very intrigued by it. Can you find a maker's name anywhere on it?
shut up! those rock!
So cool, Rashon! I've never seen anything like that before either. What a versatile piece/ pieces!
Fantastic find!!!
its such a unique piece anyone would love it!
That is SO awesome! I love the simple lines. Once those bad boys are painted they are going to be amazing!
I keep coming back to this post to see if someone has been able to identify the history of this piece. My curiosity is over the top on this one- I need to know. Submit to Apartment Therapy and see if any of their readers can help solve this furniture mystery!
yowzah and incredible find.
Totally agree about nightstands and now with beds being higher off the ground (deeper mattresses) nightstands are too low and lamps are no good for reading in bed. I love using little dressers as I did in my daughter's room - more storage at the right height!
