The two drawer chest I am pretty sure is a reproduction, but need to see the dovetails on drawers to make sure !! The lounge chair and ottoman is probably an import,,what were you thinking on price ??  I think $95 asking price but $75. to make a sale,, Table and chairs is about right but may have to come down to $150.
The vanity stool I would like to see the under side and a closer pic please !!  Its the better of all the items from what I can see !!  Sure looks better than $35. but need to see more !! Could be a later one but can tell more with additional pics !!

It is not typical of the vanity chairs you usually see !!  Much finer legs,, more elegant !!

first pic is the dresser dovetail, then 2 pics of underside of chair.  The last pic is the back of the chair.  I just noticed a crack on the back, above the seat.  Does that kill any value, it had?

I don't know what the slide out part is called on this dresser.  When these chairs saw better days, who were they made for?  They're so small, maybe for kids?  They measure 30in tall and the seat is 13.5x12.5in

Little Sheraton style dresser probably 1950`s or so !! Small three drawer so pullout slide would serve as a desk or writing surface most likely !! Double duty dresser !! Very unusual bentwood chairs !!
