Don’t try to be SLIGH… we caught you staring! We know you LOVE this headboard!! Of course you do!!! What’s NOT to LOVE??? This is a handsome Cross Country Line King-sized Headboard by Sligh Furniture beautifully composed of a deep onyx black painted frame featuring an AWESOME built in bookcase or open storage area with convenient cut out cord holes and two sliding doors. WOW!!! Talk about ample space for books, décor, bedroom accessories, TV remotes, your phones or just about anything else you can imagine! AND did you notice… it bears two sliding doors with a decorative horizontal faux-divided configuration on each door front and clean, straight lines with a minimalist aesthetic indicative to the Cross Country Collection. 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 and it is going to be next-level BEAUTIFUL in any bedroom you choose!

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. Sligh sold the clock business to Bulova Corporation in 2005 to concentrate on home office, home entertainment and living area wall units. Charles R. Sligh Jr. died in 1997 at the age of 91.
