[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 986697, member: 5066"]I would add that dimensions can often help in ID of furniture forms, for example, a wash stand height of 33 inches is "standard" where a server height standard would be in the 36 inch range. This issue often comes up when looking at "dressing tables" VS a "highboy base" which look very similar but are quite different, in terms of height/size and function.
