    I got this yesterday at a local thrift store as part of a bundle (with a Jimi Hendrix poster, Chagall litho & a AVP (Alien vs Predator movie poster) for $180.
    My question is if this is a vintage / mid century set or a newer copy? I bought it because of the slot screws & older bolts on it (see last pics) made me think it was older (plus I found a similar set that sold on eBay for $150 by itself & I figured the rest was worth more than the $30 difference I paid for everything!
    So, did I get a good deal? Do I have a real, vintage lucite TV tray set worth what I paid?
    Thank you!

    Certainly a chance it might be vintage, but they are making new versions of these. I think either way you did well, the new ones are pricey. I guess if selling on Ebay with the cost of shipping, you'd want to be sure of the era, though. I can't say for sure from the photos, finger's crossed yours are vintage.

    I remember passing on a vintage acrylic TV set and stand about 5 years ago at a sale, they were stacked in a garage and unpriced, and I just was staying away from larger items so didn't even inquire. (And this was a sale where things were super reasonable.) Boy, could have kicked myself later. I saw a similar set sold at $300.

    1980s if vintage.
