<p>[QUOTE="RachelW, post: 9791243, member: 15376"]<p style="text-align: center">Vide grenier day was good to me! Saw this and had to have it, its the perfect size to be useable in any size apartment, its old, its in fairly good shape, and it folds up! If I were to hold off and get something else I probably wouldn't find a similar one for under 150, they're trendy here. Two hinges are damaged so the mirror panel doesn't stay upright and the right panel half comes off. Otherwise there's nothing a little wood dough and some varnish/something won't fix! The left and middle panels open onto a shallow tray. The right side is a deeper compartment with a faux drawer on the front. The old lining is a delight, not so grody as the bad lighting would have you believe, and smells like old makeup/perfum.</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">I'm wondering about the age. My thought is 1940s, but the drawers' dovetails look more like my 1850s dresser. A friend of mine guessed 1890s. I'd appreciate your input!</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]485141[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]485142[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]485143[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]485144[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]485145[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]485146[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]485149[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]485152[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">TYIA!</p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
