I know I have posted a thousand china cabs on here for you guys to see. I finally found one I thought would really work in my space and I am so in love with it. It seems to complete the space. Thought I would share a photo!

Thanks to everyone for the help and suggestions!

    I had seen it on CL before and wrote to the owner but never heard back. She reposted it and I responded again. We spoke on the phone and I got the measurements and asked her to send more photos as the CL photos were so dark I could barely see it. She sent it all over and I asked hubby who said yes!

    We went yesterday to pick it up. It was a two hour drive total and it was a beast to move. They had all types of stairs! We used and flat trailer. I feel lucky we got home with it still on the trailer!

    I paid her 300 and she said it was imported from Thailand or something. She had tons of antiques in her tiny garden home! It is solid wood and is truly beautiful.

    This is a close up she sent me.

    Yep, looks good. I like it because it isn't dining-roomish feeling and it has that little counter in front. I still like the buffet that you also have.

    Joining all the others who say it IS perfect for your home. I also loved the first one, but this is wonderful for your spot in every way! And, I suspect that the price is a bargain, too.

    Oh, so happy for you!!! It's gorgeous. If there was ever a perfect spot for a China Cabinet, you have one. I'm so envious.....makes me want to build a new house just so I could have one, too! Great job.....and outstanding perseverance; a good lesson for all.

    Such a good hutch for your house! Although I too liked that first one - I would have had to paint it to something similar to this new one which I know is stained. The new one is a really good stain color for your space.

    She said it was teak. I am not really sure. It is a pretty clear wood. Not many knots I do not think it is teak. Good question. Whatever type of wood it is, it is really heavy.

    I think it MAY be made of rubberwood, as lots of furniture from that area is.

    Here is some info I found online about it -

    "DEFINITION OF RUBBERWOOD

    What is rubberwood?
    Rubberwood is a hardwood belonging to the Euphorbiaceae family
    Rubberwood has very little tendency to warp or crack
    Rubberwood-Eco Friendly!

    Rubberwood is often the most misunderstood species of wood in the
    furniture industry. The name rubberwood invokes a variety of
    misconceptions as to it’s features and to it’s durability. Rubberwood
    (also called Parawood in Thailand)
    is the standard common name for the
    timber of Hevea brasiliensis.

    In fact, rubberwood is one of the more durable lumbers used in the
    manufacturing of today’s home furnishings. Rubberwood has a dense grain
    character that is easily controlled in the kiln drying process.
    Rubberwood has very little shrinkage making it one of the more stable
    construction materials available for furniture manufacturing. Like
    maple, rubberwood is a sap producing species. In the case of maple, it
    is sap; in the case of rubberwood, it is latex. Rubberwood produces all
    the latex used in the world for all rubber based products.

    There is one more important feature of rubberwood that is very
    important in today’s world. Rubberwood is the most ecologically
    “friendly” lumber used in today’s furniture industry. After the economic
    life of the rubber tree, which is generally 26-30 years, the latex
    yields become extremely low and the planters then fell the rubber trees
    and plant new ones. So, unlike other woods that are cut down for the
    sole purpose of producing furniture, rubberwood is used only after it
    completes it’s latex producing cycle and dies. This wood is therefore
    eco-friendly in the sense that we are now using what was going as waste.
    Do not mistake the name rubberwood when it comes to its quality features."
