Vintage Light Yellow Lacquer Nightstands — Pair | Japanese Birch Veneer | Mid-Century Modern

This striking pair of vintage nightstands features a soft light-yellow lacquered exterior paired with warm birch-veneered interiors. The clean, boxy silhouette and minimalist drawer fronts reflect classic mid-century modern design, while the subtle pastel tone gives them a fresh yet timeless presence.

Each nightstand includes two spacious drawers with smooth metal glides and distinctive vintage push-latch hardware mounted inside, a detail commonly seen in mid-century Japanese furniture. An original interior label indicates birch veneered plywood manufactured in Hokkaido, Japan, offering a strong clue to their postwar Japanese production and quality craftsmanship.

These pieces work beautifully as nightstands, end tables, or accent storage in a bedroom, living room, or studio space, blending seamlessly with both modern and vintage interiors.

Measurements
Approx. measurements per nightstand (each):
• Height: approx. 18–20 in
• Width: approx. 18–20 in
• Depth: approx. 16–18 in
(Measurements are approximate; please message if exact dimensions are needed)

• Vintage plastic push-latch hardware

Condition
Good vintage condition with age-appropriate wear. There are light superficial scratches, small scuffs, and minor edge wear to the lacquered surfaces, consistent with normal use over time. No structural issues. Drawers open and close smoothly. Please review photos closely for condition details.

Origin / Maker
Unbranded. Interior label indicates materials made in Hokkaido, Japan. Likely mid-century Japanese manufacture, circa 1960s–1970s.
