A well-planned bedroom benefits from compact furniture that keeps everyday items close at hand without taking up unnecessary space. This custom Ercol bedside cabinet combines useful storage with a distinctive design and warm natural timber tones. Originally made as a corner display unit, the piece has been carefully transformed for use beside a bed. The original top was removed, resized and refitted to suit its new proportions, while the plate-holder groove has been retained as a visible feature across the top surface. A practical drawer and lower cupboard provide convenient storage for smaller essentials and larger belongings. The previous finish has been stripped away, and multiple coats of hard-wearing lacquer have been applied to protect the surface and bring out the varied elm grain. This item is made with elm-veneer panels and a solid elm top, while the rear panel and drawer base are made from plywood. Its thoughtful conversion, useful storage and retained original details give this bedside cabinet an individual character that is difficult to find in standard modern furniture.[dimensions][w]53[/w][h]71[/h][d]46[/d][/dimensions]
