[QUOTE="wcubed, post: 1535522, member: 12663"]Yes, the whole set. In "original" condition, but time hasn't treated it so well lately, unfortunately. I figured I'd post the pictures so people can at least see what a "full set" looks like. I know we've had people post individual pieces here.

Apparently no one really wanted, or would pay much for Eastlake furniture twenty five or thirty years ago either, and I couldn't bear to let it go for so little, as I loved the armchair. It was very comfortable. I had it in my little apartment, and then nearly 20 years ago I met my current wife, so it came with me, but... No room for it! Down in the basement it went, in a pile, where it has been ever since, until now. It was a nice dry basement, so I wasn't worried about it, but then Hurricane Irene happened, and some water came in a basement window. The furniture did NOT get wet, but the damage was done. The humidity in the air made a lot of the veneer peel off the front of the furniture below the cushion area. Long story short, it is time for the furniture to go, as my wife and I are packing up the house for a move to Florida, and we can't take it with us. I managed to snap a few pictures in the dark before loading it up in a van for my brother to take. I'm not sure what he will do with it, but it's his problem now. Sorry for the poor quality pics. It's the best I could do under the circumstances.
