70s dresser?

17 years ago

Hi guys. I know a lot of you share your CL finds here and I was wondering what you thought of this dresser? I found it at a flea market today for 58.00. I've decided to redecorate my 70s tri-level with a bit of an MCM flair and was thinking this dresser fit the bill. It also has a mirror that attaches to the left side of it (not centered on the dresser). It's really cool. Once I get it cleaned up and up in the room with the mirror on, I'll post updated pics.

So what do you think? Did I get a good deal?

There is a tag on the back with a model # and W.M.B., not sure if that is initials for a company? Anyone know?

Thanks!

Jen

It looks great. Good condition and a bit unique on the styling.

I'm an MCM fan and I like it. It has pretty clean lines -- this designer didn't go overboard with the space age or mediterranean influence. I definitely think you got a good deal.

I love it. I wish I could find something like that on our craigslist.

Definitely a good deal -- around here that would resell for around $200-$300. I'm looking for one myself, actually...only it can't be over 48". Please tell me that's over 48" :)

(note to self: go check out that new flea market in town!)

Um, Jenilyn, I don't know how to tell you this, but (ahem) I think that's actually *my* dresser. If you bring it over to my house immediately, though, I promise not to tell anyone you swiped it...

No, in all seriousness: that is a gorgeous piece for an excellent price! Good for you!

Ohhhh thank you guys soooo much! I feel so good about this purchase. We start renovation on the bedrooms tomorrow and I cannot wait to get it cleaned up and in there with the mirror on it! I will post follow up pics soon.

Oh, and I would say it is ca. 1960 rather than 1970s. Well done!

That is a great desser! I agree with jakabedy that it is 60's rather than 70's. Can't wait to see pics of it in the room with the mirror. You got a steal!

I know it isn't your intention, but that would make a fabulous vanity cabinet with vessel sinks above.

Nice find!
