Lets talk about this piece.

This nightstand is a bit smaller than it’s larger McKenzie cousin.

The McKenzie Nightstand is made from solid American alder and features old world craftsmanship with such features as English dovetail drawers, mortise and tenon joinery, and fitted backs that ensures structural strength and stability.

Stains on all Whittier products are finished using high quality catalyzed topcoats,  the most chemically resistant finishes available.  Spills including acetone, alcohol, or even permanent marker will not damage your finished product.

The full-extension metal ball-bearing drawer slides provide smooth and effortless access to spacious drawers.

Whittier Wood is very conscious about it’s use of wood and the environment. That’s why Whittier uses American red alder wood for it’s furniture. Alder regenerates naturally and grows quickly and prolifically.

Alder is a beautiful hardwood that is similar to cherry wood. It grows in the Pacific Northwest along a 125 mile-wide strip along the West Coast that stretches from Alaska to Northern California. The largest concentration of Alder stands just north of Portland, Oregon.

Red alder is almost white when freshly cut,but quickly changes on exposure to air to light brown with a yellow or reddish tinge. Alder machines well and is excellent for turning and polishing.
