These mid-century teak bedside lockers most likely date from the late 1960s to early 1970s and align closely with designs produced by makers such as Nathan, Stonehill, Austinsuite, Vanson and the lighter teak bedroom suites retailed by British stores during this period. The simple lines, angled open shelf and square legs all point toward these well-known mid-century manufacturers, and although unlabelled, they clearly sit within that era of accessible, Danish-influenced British design.
Each cabinet offers practical, well-planned storage with a top drawer, an open shelf for books or night-time essentials, and a lower cupboard. The doors are set up perfectly for bedside use, with one opening to the left and the other to the right, making them a true left and right-hand pair. They have been fully cleaned and oiled, and the knobs have been replaced with tidy metal button knobs that complement the warm tones of the teak. Drawers glide smoothly, interiors are clean and ready to use, and the overall footprint is compact yet highly functional.
As expected for original pieces of this age, they show some cosmetic wear. One cabinet has an area of bubbling and lifting to the veneer on the side, and there is lifting to the veneer at the base of one unit. The tops show visible wear and patina from age and use, all clearly photographed and reflected in the pricing. Despite the cosmetic imperfections, the pair remain solid, stable and full of authentic mid-century character, offering a great-looking, practical and affordable set of teak bedsides for any modern home.

Condition
Please bear in mind that all our vintage and retro items have had a life before you purchase them (sometimes quite a long one!) therefore they will show signs of wear and use. We never sell items that we wouldn’t be happy to have in our own homes and provide images detailing any significant damage or unusual wear. Please read the details and examine the images prior to purchase. If you’re unsure, or would like some more information, please contact us, we’re always happy to help.
Our Delivery Policy
PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU PURCHASE FROM AN OFF-SITE ADVERT FOR ETSY, FREE DELIVERY WILL NOT APPLY (AS WE ARE CHARGED CONSIDERABLY MORE). TO AVOID THIS, PLEASE GO DIRECT TO OUR ETSY-POWERED WEBSITE LIGHTFOOTANDLOWE.COM
FREE DELIVERY DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY APPLY TO ANY SALE ITEMS.
Safely delivering items you purchase in a timely fashion is both our priority and also one of the most challenging aspects of our business.
In most circumstances, we offer free hand delivery, contact-free, kerbside to most mainland UK addresses, either by ourselves or via our dedicated, trusted, couriers. This ensures that your purchases arrive in exactly the condition they were in when you purchased them, as accurately described on our site. You should expect delivery to be within 1 to 3 weeks of you placing the order. We will contact you directly with a firm delivery date and advise you in advance of a two hour delivery window. Exclusions to free delivery apply, including where tolls or congestion zone fees apply, for which there will be an additional charge. Free delivery does not apply to areas of mainland UK not covered by our trusted couriers - if this applies to your purchase, we will simply charge you what we are charged for delivery, less any Etsy fees, and notify you of this as soon as practicable after the sale goes through.
We are able to package and export items beyond mainland UK and have done so as far afield as Hong Kong and New Zealand. We regularly export to Northern Ireland and Eire and the majority of Europe. Please contact us directly for a tailored quotation.
When ordering, please supply us with your mobile ‘phone number, so we may liaise directly with you regarding delivery. Please advise if there are any delivery restrictions that will apply (such as anything other than ground floor access, parking and access restrictions etc.). We reserve the right to charge for deliveries outside of our standard terms.
Please note that if we are unable to deliver on a pre-arranged day, you will be charged a flat fee of £50 for re-delivery.
