[QUOTE="Ghopper1924, post: 2770271, member: 5170"]This is a pattern. The O.P. creates a thread asking for our collective opinion. They have "knowledge" of the piece which they do not share. They're hoping we'll all chime in and agree (unbeknownst) with them. In this case the furniture "regulars" agree that this is 20th century mahogany. This is not what the O.P. wanted to hear.
