<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SeaGoat, post: 102715, member: 1136&quot;]Okay, I thought I would create a thread away from the &quot;stuck drawer&quot; now that it is unstuck.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would like to date, identify, and restore the piece if I can.</p><p><br /></p><p>The pictures do not include a top as its not original but its just a piece of plywood cut to fit, stuffed with brown vinyl stapled on. Not cute.</p><p>Its only a few inches from the top to the bottom piece that separates it from the drawers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ill probably reuse the piece, but put a more attractive fabric back over the top.</p><p>I was thinking of hinging the top so it can lift up and down and stay in place.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only thing giving me pause on the hinge idea is the back piece. It seems to have been &quot;lipped&quot; out, which I fear would leave it vulnerable to easy breakage.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk13/Faircloth9945/Mobile%20Uploads/20151222_123011_zpsl6bnmo2f.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk13/Faircloth9945/Mobile%20Uploads/20151222_123143_zpsir3dmtsx.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>It also seems to have had some sort of feet that inserted into the bottom?</p><p>What kind of feet would they have been?</p><p><img src="http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk13/Faircloth9945/Mobile%20Uploads/20151222_122923_zps15pqv6ym.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk13/Faircloth9945/Mobile%20Uploads/20151222_122836_zpsorcm8bpq.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>If possible (and affordable) Id like to replace the locks on it.
