Straight out of my memories of my grandma's home in Waco, TX....dusted a piece like this many years ago, I'm in mid 50's now...yes this did have a table and 8 chairs.......but somewhere along the line someone took the table and chairs and now no one knows who has/had them...as for the buffet, my father and step mother took the buffet for safe keeping, their idea of that was in a barn/shed, when I got my hands on it, all the veneer had buckled off, I didn't know of the cloth and iron method and the entire piece was split and rotted...broke my heart, but it was not able to be restored...had I known then how much I would have loved to have this piece now, I would have kept it somehow, my granny has been gone since 1979 and that piece was in her dining room long before I came to know of it...so it is old, and I would sooooooooooooooooo cherish it...wish I had kept a door or something off of it...sigh, good findings, enjoy, we had many a wonderful dinner served off of our buffet........back in the days when grannys would hold the turkey legs together with black metal coat hangers! Yikes, but yum was the food.
