Heywood Wakefield dressers offer a stylish way to get a Mid Century Modern bedroom. Of course, originally, most Heywood Wakefield dressers came with an entire bedroom set.
However, on today’s market, a Heywood Wakefield dresser can sell separately from an entire set.
People often collect Heywood Wakefield furniture from this era. The rounded corners, peg legs and light clear finishes made the company pretty famous in the 1950s. Obviously, today, the retro style has resurfaced as a popular and whimsical way to decorate.
