A vintage Mid-Century Modern Broyhill Furniture Co. Emphasis Magna highboy dresser with strong proportions, refined detailing, and excellent build quality.

This piece features a well-balanced drawer layout, sculpted original pulls, and the subtle framed drawer fronts that define the Emphasis Magna line. The case sits on tapered legs with a light, architectural stance while still offering serious storage.

The drawer action is notably smooth thanks to dovetailed construction with ball-bearing glides, a step above many MCM contemporaries. It reads clean, confident, and timeless without feeling busy or overdesigned.
