Description
The condition is fair/good..over the years it has sustained some scratches. The dresser is quite beautiful. It has 8 drawers, 4 each side. It bows in the middle, hence the wider depth in the middle. It looks as if, at one point, the mirror could have been attached to the dresser, but I can always remember the mirror being hung on the wall. Footboard has more detail on the side facing away from mattress and sits lower (24.5") than the height of the headboard. There appears to be veneers, at least on the legs of the dresser, that need to be repaired, along with some scratches on all pieces. On the back of the dresser it says "150 4/6 MAH." I am guessing that means the dresser was 4 of six pieces...the dresser, footboard, headboard, 2 rails and the mirror. I recently got an estimate of 1400.00 to refinish the set and was wondering if this would warrant that price. The furniture refinisher seemed to think so, but that would be his opinion.
