City Club Bleeker Street Nightstand

Description

The City Club Bleeker Street Nightstand is nothing like your typical club. No membership card required, no secret handshake, no password to open the door. And that's what we love about it - an elegant breath of fresh air for your bedroom without a whiff of stuffiness.

How does the Bleeker Street Nightstand achieve this? It starts with the wood: maple and select hardwood solids with cherry and mahogany veneers finished in a Blair color that's been gently distressed for a little extra character. An upper drawer with drawer-and-box construction gives you space for bedside essentials, and the cupboard below opens to reveal an adjustable shelf inside. Both drawer and cupboard are dotted with mottled brass-finish hardware that, when combined with the pretty bun feet, give you just a hint of Victorian style.

Plus, this nightstand pairs perfectly with all pieces in the City Club collection. How's that for one cool club?

Additional Quality Features:

• Dovetail joints in front and back of drawer
• Heavy-duty center drawer guide
• Sanded and sealed drawer interior and unexposed parts
• Mortis-and-tenon joinery throughout
• Back recessed into end for superior strength

The City Club Collection
With a nod to timeless antiques without a whiff of stuffiness, the City Club collection by Stanley Furniture is for those who seek rich, traditional style within a livable urban scale. Inspired by the best from Chippendale, Sheraton, and 18th Century Federal designs, City Club puts handsome hardwoods to the forefront with warm, soft finishes in centuries-old craftsmanship. Classic cherry and mahogany veneers gleam under hand-waxed polish, with a variety of gentle distressing techniques like burnishing and rub-through to give a loving permanence to this vintage look.

Stanley Furniture Craftsmanship
Stanley Furniture's main objective is to produce quality and stylish furniture by using the best wood materials, construction procedures, and elegant finishes on their products to help you fashion your home decor the way you imagined. All of their furniture is hand-crafted from quality woods, incorporating other superior materials such as aluminum, glass, plastic, leather, and marble. Every joint is carefully constructed (keeping wood's sensitivity to heat and humidity in mind) allowing for expansion and contraction. All joints are held together with glue and nail.

Stanley's 30-step finishing process starts with an undertone stain that is applied to a hand-sanded piece. Next, the stain is sealed with a wash coat, then hand sanded again with filler applied to pack the wood pores and smooth out the surface. A sealer coat is then applied, the piece is hand sanded again, and hand padded to mellow the tone. From there, a luster glaze is rubbed on by hand, followed by antiquing or distressing also done by hand. Finally, after drying, each piece is hand waxed and rubbed prior to final inspection.

About Stanley Furniture

To accomplish this goal, founder Thomas Bahnson Stanley surrounded himself with the finest furniture craftsmen and instilled in them a sense of pride in building superb quality into every piece of Stanley Furniture. Today, that pride is shared by more than 1,750 dedicated associates who have made Stanley Furniture one of the largest, most respected furniture manufacturers in the nation.

Care

Do not place your furniture in direct sunlight and/or a damp area. Arrange your furniture so it is not placed in front of or over heating or air conditioning vents. Avoid placing furniture directly under windows. Be careful not to place plastic materials (place mats, lamp bases, notebooks, etc.) on your furniture. Certain plastics have ingredients that may react with and damage the finish. Occasionally rotate accessories so they do not remain in the same spot for extended periods. Avoid creating marks on your furniture by placing a piece of felt, cloth, or leather under accessories. Lift objects from the top surface rather than dragging them across the finish when moving them. Use a protective pad when using your furniture as a writing surface (especially when using a ballpoint pen). Wipe up spills promptly. Water left over a prolonged period of time will cause white spots in the finish, and alcohol, perfume, after-shave, and medicines can cause severe damage to the finish. Dust frequently with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth. To remove accumulated dust or old furniture wax buildup, use a soft, lint-free cloth which has been dampened in a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Dry thoroughly using a clean, lint-free cloth, and then apply furniture polish, wiping it in the direction of the wood grain. It's recommended that the furniture be polished every six months.
