    Google gave me this similar one by Bassett, hard to tell how close exactly though the drawers seem a bit different. Bassett did make wavy drawers but don't know about yours.

    Yes definitely similar but mine has the wavy drawers up top only....hardware/handles may be similar? Is the blonde color most always laminate or is it sometimes wood, do you know?

    UPDATE: I picked up everything yesterday EXCEPT this dressser.....but I was able to get eyes on it and it IS wood (not laminate!!) I opened a couple drawers and couldn't see a brand name and it was backed against a wall, so I couldn't get to the back of it....hoping it's a decent brand, it does have some dings so a little profit would be nice....still a little nervous about this buy, but live and learn, right??

    Ok....my sweet, tolerant husband picked this up for me this afternoon....would love everyone's thoughts. Paid about $115 for, I live in a great resell market (Seattle)
    It IS Wood, looks to have a varnish on top that's wearing off. Not fabulous shape sadly, some dings and scratches that weren't listed in auction photos....grrr.....

    Only identifying Mark is the stamp on back (also appears to have had a mirror at one point--no more). Also to note....back legs different than front (?) Why?!
    Can anyone give me any idea of brand? Or value? Or ???? thx! 20211218_143023_copy_1008x756.jpg 20211218_143030_copy_756x1008.jpg 20211218_143034_copy_756x1008.jpg 20211218_143040_copy_756x1008.jpg 20211218_143044_copy_756x1008.jpg 20211218_143112_copy_756x1008.jpg 20211218_143122_copy_756x1008.jpg 20211218_143053_copy_1008x756.jpg

    yeah having a little buyers remorse, my competitive side got the best of me! But, I'm going to stay optimistic that someone may want this as a project!
