Wood chest of drawers - Is it worth anything?
« on: May 16, 2014, 09:26:47 pm »
Just want to make sure this isn't a treasure before I list it on craigslist.  I'm awful with furniture, I can't tell the difference between the good and the firewood. ;) 

I don't see any name/mark, the bottom drawer has a hinged lid.  The top piece of wood slides off.  I'm planning on asking $75 (Chicago)

That is called "Depression" era furniture.

There was many manufacturers and was made in both dining room and bedroom sets.

I second what Cogar said. It was the veneer crazy period.
