Well, actually it is just new to me. It has some dings and is missing it's legs. However the height without the legs is perfect for my TV.
It cost me $30 and is solid wood. Normally I am tempted to paint old wood items but this one was a little different. The doors slide back and I didn't think that it would paint properly. All I did was clean and stain it.
I love the craftsmanship. The handles on the door slides are not plastic but carved out of wood. The slides are metal.
It was made in Denmark.
I bought it off of Craigslist. I am always looking for wood furniture items. I enjoy stripping them down and then decorative painting them. The last painting job I did was Sarah's zebra dresser.I am anxious to do another project so I am on the look out for something inexpensive to redo. I do Craigslist, garage sales and thrift stores.
I have heard horror stories about Craigslist so I always take someone with me and let everyone know where we are going. I have never had a problem.
Tasha is supposed to come down next weekend and garage sale with me. I hope she does, because I am going. Maybe I will find a great item.
How about you, do you do used?
