Not Sure What To Offer For This Table- Suggestions?

17 years ago

I am seriously considering buying this table for my guest room to use as a nightstand. I just contacted the owner and he is going to send me a link that has more detailed pictures. I know nothing about this type of furniture and I think $95 is reasonable but wanted to check in with you experts here. Take a look and let me know what you think. As soon as I get the link with more detailed pictues, I will post here.

Deb, I'd be in the car with cash in hand. That's just gorgeous. I don't know anything about the type, but think of it this way; you couldn't even buy a MDF/pressboard table at Wal Mart for that much.

Go get it!

That is a beautiful table. Where is this seller located? The website has some really nice pieces and I am from the Phila area.

Thanks!

Very nice. That actually appears to be a radio table from the '20s-30s. The veneer looks to be in good shape and it would probably make a great nightstand. Keep in mind, though, that it may be a little shallower but longer than a traditional nightstand. But for a guest room it should be fine.

30 inch height is same as dining room table -- it might be a bit high for a bedside table. But it's GORGEOUS -- I'd buy it in a minute, and find a home for it somewhere!

Bichonfriz, the table is actually in Columbus, Oh, about 15 minutes from where I live. The company does have a website and ships to other parts of the country. The website is oldwoodmarketdotcom.

So it sounds like you guys think I should offer $95. Is that right? I want to be fair. Isn't a great table! I saw it this morning and fell in love! Jakabedy, thanks for the information, I appreciate it. I admit I know nothing about old furniture, just know what I like if you know what I mean. I'm trying to educate myself but sometimes it is hard.

I have one of those tables. Family heirloom. They are very pretty. If you can't use it as a bedstand I'm sure you can find a place for it. I think $95 is a good price for a table. I don't know pricing in your area for vintage items but I just two months ago saw one of those tables for $30 at an rummage sale in my neighborhood. Not a scratch on it. Original finish. I'm still kicking myself for not getting it. Don't be me. Get it.

Deborah, I adhere to the philosophy that if something "speaks" to you, then you should get it. Old or new, heirloom or ready-to-assemble, if it stops you in your tracks figuratively or literally, then chances are you'll love it for years to come.

I have a few pieces that are junky but that I love, and I also have a few pieces that I love and later found out were higher quality than I thought. I love them all!

I purchased the table! We settled on $75 dollars. I need to get my hubby to bring it into the house and then I will photograph and post pictures. It does need some work but overall, I'm happy with my purchase.

Thanks for the encouragement!!
