Vintage Heywood-Wakefield blond maple step table, 1950s
A small mid-century maple side table in the light Heywood-Wakefield finish, the sort found beside a basement couch. Buyers pay for the original finish and the branded mark; refinishing or water rings drop it into the ordinary used-table range.
Estimated resale range (used)
$45 – $130
A ballpark, not a quote. Condition moves this number a lot, and so does who turns up to buy it. It isn't an appraisal and it isn't a dealer's offer.

What matters when you check it
- Look underneath for the branded Heywood-Wakefield mark and any stencil numbers
- Check the top for water rings, sun fading, and whether the finish is original
- Wiggle the legs and joints for looseness, and check for splits in the solid maple
Where the number comes from
Watching what these go for, not a record of sales. The range is a judgement call from what the same thing fetches secondhand. When an item has real sources behind it, they'll be printed here with the date they were checked.
Before you sell anything, look at sold prices rather than asking prices. Asking prices are wishes; sold prices are evidence.
