How are the nightstands constructed?
Solid teak down to the drawer boxes, with dovetailed or pinned corners — no MDF panel hiding anywhere. Tap it and it will not sound hollow, and the top can be sanded and re-oiled at home for decades, which veneer cannot survive.
Can I match the height to my bed?
Yes. Each nightstand is made to order, so height can match your mattress top, and depth can shrink for narrow bedside walls. Pairs are built together from matching stock, so two nightstands arrive as siblings, not strangers.
Is there any assembly?
This sculptural design ships in separated sections — not to save on freight, but to protect the joined solid-wood blocks in transit. The parts align and fasten with the included hardware in about fifteen minutes, one person, one key. No wordless diagrams, no leftover screw.
What care keeps them looking right?
Wipe with a slightly damp cloth, use a coaster under the overnight water glass, and re-oil the top once a year. Keep the piece a couple of feet from a heat vent in winter, and give the drawer runners an occasional rub of paraffin wax.
How do nightstands ship?
Each nightstand is built after you order it, then double-boxed with the drawer secured for transit. Pairs ship together, tracking is emailed when the boxes leave, and if anything arrives damaged we make it right — photograph the box and write us at support@timbervintique.com.
