Every piece Seldens carries from Whittier Wood is solid wood. No exceptions, and most of the line is built for the bedroom. That single fact is most of the reason to look here: this is honest casegood construction across a range of price points, from a small accent piece up to a storage bed.

Storage Beds and Nine Drawer Dressers

Dressers, nightstands, beds, a mirror and a desk chair cover a bedroom with room to spare. The McKenzie nine drawer dresser and the Addison panel storage bed are the two pieces worth planning around. Storage beds are a genuine answer in older Northwest houses with shallow closets, but measure the room first: a platform with drawers needs clearance on the pull side, so a bed pushed into a corner loses half its usefulness.

Wood That Holds Up in a Damp Climate

Solid wood moves with humidity, and our winters are humid. That is not a flaw, it is the material working. Drawers that glide easily in August may run slightly tighter in February, and they settle back. Keep pieces off exterior walls where condensation collects, and wax rather than over oil. Handled that way, these are the pieces that get handed down. Browse the wider rustic furniture collection for the same idea in other finishes.

Shop Whittier Wood in Tacoma, Bellevue and Olympia

Pull a drawer out all the way and look at the sides and the bottom. That is the fastest test of whether a dresser was built to last, and it is a thirty second job at any of our three Puget Sound showrooms. Our complimentary design services can plan a whole bedroom around one piece. See the Craftsman collection for the fullest group.
