[QUOTE="stfx12, post: 159765, member: 2517"]I purchased this at a yard sale for $50. My plan right now is to sand it down and re-finish it. It's solid wood. The mirror is attached to the back but I had to take it off to take it home. The glass in the mirror is beveled. Not sure if those wood sticks in the back are part of the original piece or if someone added them on there. I believe it's a dresser, the drawers are actually pretty low which is different. It is on wheels and seem like they have always been part of the dresser - unfortunately the wheels are very loud and creaky.. It needs a little TLC, but I think overall it's in pretty good shape Does anyone know what the original purpose of something like this would be? Also any clues on how to date something like this. There are no marks that I could identify about who made it or where it is from. Any help would be much appreciated!
