Wade

MID-CENTURY TRADITIONAL LOWBOY DRESSER

Wade is a small lowboy dresser with an easy, understated charm, the kind of piece that feels right at home the moment it arrives. Wade brings refined proportions and subtle detailing that give you style options. You could embrace his clean transitional style with the slatted upper drawers and integrated finger pull tucked just beneath the top lip, and add new contemporary hardware to the lower drawers. Or, if you're attracted to the traditional turned legs, and the slatted drawers aren't your vibe. We can cover the slats and add hardware to that top drawer. Either way, Wade's got game. Six generous drawers, and ready to be refinished.

Take a look at Bradley, Davidson or Dimetra, to see examples of what Wade can become. 

Rescued and ready for his next chapter, Wade is waiting for the right color and the right home. Choose your finish, and we'll do the rest. For inspiration, visit our Color page to explore past pieces that have already found their forever homes.

Basic-Witz Furniture

Basic-Witz Furniture Industries, established in 1889 in Waynesboro and Staunton, Virginia, is a renowned American furniture maker celebrated for high-quality mid-century modern (MCM) walnut and burl wood casegoods. Known for designing "understated elegance," the firm was acquired by Stanley Furniture in the 1970s.

Best known for 1960s Mid-Century Modern designs, including buffets, cabinets, and dressers with high-end wood detailing like walnut and olive burl.

Pieces often feature solid wood construction with veneer, frequently using burl walnut and metal accents.

Noted Designer: Sanford Wallack designed for the firm, noted for his work on the "Anniversary Collection".

We specialize in high gloss lacquer. We use a waterbased industrial wood lacquer coating, and every layer of primer, color and top coat is catalyzed. It is a very durable finish and will endure for decades with proper care. 

Our lacquer finish is catalyzed (2k) at every coat. It is a very durable finish and will endure for decades with proper care. We recommend dusting often and using coasters and protective felt feet on pointed objects. 


For cleaning greasy finger prints or dirty smudges, this is the product we use for the "final finish". It is waterbased and will not react with our finish. Do not substitute with a solvent-based finishing spray.  We recommend both the Meguiars Final Finish and these microfiber cloths.

Do not use any cleansers with ammonia or other harsh chemicals, it will dull the finish.

Good to know

Waterbased 2k Lacquer

We use a waterbased 2k (catalyzed) lacquer. That means we add a catalyst material to our primer, color and top coat with every coat we spray. This catalyst speeds up dry time and produces a much harder and durable surface. A 2k finish is defined as having a catalyst added. A 1k or pre-cat does not have a catalyst added to each coat.

Catalyzed or 2k lacquers are tricky and hard to do. Application is only through professional spray equipment. It dries in a very short amount of time, which also risks damage to the equipment if you don’t time it right. We believe though, the risk is definitely worth the gorgeous outcome!

Finish Options

Our water-based 2k lacquer is available in matte, satin or a high gloss finish. Color options are endless. We often use swatch books from known brands such as Benjamin Moore, Sherwin Williams, Curator or Farrow & Ball. We also have the ability to match to anything you can imagine, apparel, wallpaper, even a napkin. If you find a color you want for a piece, let us know and we can find you a match.
