There are whole bed room sets of this design style, with various pieces from headboards to night stands to big mirrored wardrobes. In my opinion these are cool mid-century designs by themselves, and don't really need the Witco monicker. However, as internet research nowadays goes just about one or two mouse clicks deep, sellers are simply copying the mistake from each other and perpetuating the misinformation.

Years ago, when these pieces first surfaced, I shot off two or three messages to some sellers to inform them of their misunderstanding, but there was no change in the posts. It's not so much for the price as for the X-tra clicks the name Witco brings, I would think. Mostly, the perpetrators just go by what they see on other posts. :(

This style/aesthetic was used in custom entry doors also, I can't find the photos here
but there are a few pics on TC.
