<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 9594356, member: 6444"]First of all, slow WAY down. Congratulate yourself for taking them off the market without selling. Now take the time to do some research. These will sell for a much higher price after you know what you have. As for the “buyer” who wanted them for his “sick grandmother”, DO NOT under any circumstances sell to him because he is a sleazy picker/dealer hoping to get these for chump change so he can immediately re-sell them - he does not have a grandmother and if he did does she would have disowned him years ago for being such a slimeball.</p><p><br /></p><p>The repairs on these are minor. The scratching can by fixed invisibly by you in about ten minutes. Sun damage is also easily fixed by you. The swelling is harder to fix, but still not a major repair. Unfortunately a fair amount of high-end danish furniture was made with particle board = this is by no means a sign that this is low-end stuff. The first piece made with rosewood veneer is in amazingly good condition except for the one corner of swelling. The working tambour fronts and rosewood point to really high end work. A competent cabinetmaker can easily pull back the veneer then trim the particle board so the veneer will reattach and be impossible to see.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don’t know where you got the name Danish by Design, but this is almost certainly wrong. If anything that could be a retailer name, not a Designer or Maker. Examine both pieces closely for a mark inside or on the back, maybe underneath.
