Baumritter was the predecessor to Ethan Allen, and this line focused on affordable, stylish mid-century furnishings. This desk features solid wood construction, tapered legs with brass caps, and a low-profile drawer — hallmarks of the MCM style. Especially valuable when paired with the matching hutch or other pieces.
Baumritter founded Ethan Allen in the 1930s and was producing quality wood furniture well into the 1960s.
The "Roomates" line (seen stamped inside your drawer) was targeted to young families, small-space living, and modern decor trends.
Style: This cabinet/hutch combo reflects mid-century Danish-American fusion with its clean lines, cane detailing, and functional drawers.
