The drop-front compartment provides a seamless way to store books, personal items, or bedside necessities while maintaining a streamlined, clutter-free aesthetic.

Designed in the 1950s and 60s, the Drexel Declaration collection embodies mid-century modern excellence. Kipp Stewart and Stewart MacDougall combined high-quality craftsmanship with modern sensibility, resulting in pieces that remain as stylish and functional today as they were decades ago.

Proportionally balanced and perfectly suited for a full-size bed, this headboard makes an excellent focal point in a primary bedroom, guest room, or even a vintage-inspired loft space. The versatile mid-century silhouette allows for seamless pairing with a variety of décor styles, from strictly vintage to more eclectic, modern interiors. Pair it with complementary walnut nightstands or a minimalist platform bed for a complete look.

Unlike many modern storage solutions, which can feel bulky or overly utilitarian, this headboard maintains a sense of elegance and refinement. The design prioritizes both accessibility and discretion, ensuring that stored items remain out of sight but within easy reach. Its craftsmanship is evident in the precision joinery and smooth-operating panel, hallmarks of Drexel’s superior mid-century production.
