Mid-Century Modern Cross Country Line dresser by Sligh Furniture composed of a black painted frame, 8 stacked dovetail drawers, and a toe kick front. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear even if it has been refinished or restored. Specifically, it has been refinished and given a fresh black paint finish and we removed a non-factory locking mechanism and filled the hole before painting. Please see photos, zoom in for details, and see long description as they are part of the condition report. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, Mid-20th Century.

You know that SLIGH feeling you get when something feels just NAUGHTY enough to be RIGHT??? If you don’t… You’re about to!!! That’s right… This is a MAGNIFICENT Cross Country Line dresser by Sligh Furniture beautifully composed of a deep onyx black painted frame featuring EIGHT stacked drawers with dovetail joints and a fabulous toe kick front. Talk about a LOT of storage space!! WOW!!! It retains the original “Sligh Furniture Cross Country Collection” stamp on the back and did you notice… it bears a decorative BUT deceptive faux-divided drawer front configuration and clean, straight lines with a minimalist aesthetic indicative to the Cross Country Line. It is STUNNING in its simplicity!! So, this piece was originally composed of a blonde wood frame however, the finish was in such despair that there was just no justice in redoing it in the same color… SO… we opted to paint it this spectacular, sultry black and honestly… it is much more attractive. It exudes an exquisite Mid-Century Modern presence that will blend in beautifully with almost ANY style décor. Obviously, it will be fantastic utilized as a dresser in any bedroom, but it shouldn’t be limited to that!! It would be BEAUTIFUL in your dining room used as a sideboard or buffet, in the family room as a cabinet for games, toys, and art supplies, or in an entry utilized as a credenza hosting a lovely sculpture, foliage, or artwork on top and endless storage options in the drawers below. Endless possibilities!!

In 1940, Charles R. Sligh Jr. and Bill Lowry purchased a Zeeland, Michigan plant and formed Sligh-Lowry Furniture Company. This was followed by the purchase of the Grand Rapids Chair Company in 1945. The Ply Curves subsidiary corporation of Sligh-Lowry was established in 1948. The Grand Rapids Chair Company offered a complete line of case goods. Desks and occasional pieces were manufactured in the Holland and Zeeland plants. In 1957, Charles R. Sligh Jr. accepted a paid position as Executive Vice President of the National Association of Manufacturers while remaining Chairman of the Board of the furniture company until 1988. Beginning in the early 1990's, Sligh focused on the home office furniture market. In 2002, Sligh entered the home entertainment furniture market.
