<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 8566, member: 37&quot;]I don&#039;t think I showed this when I first picked it up. Large walnut chest bought for $25.00. This has been knocked about a bit with repairs/patchwork to the drawers and I think the top drawer boxes were added. There was also a fancy scrollwork backsplash that was very poorly executed, had been snapped off, and reglued badly. On the plus side, it is very sturdy, has good storage, and has been refinished. </p><p><br /></p><p>I cut the backsplash straight other than two little &quot;ears&quot; I left at the ends. The top drawers had square oak knobs that I replaced with round ones stained to match the walnut. Other than a little spruce up to the finish, that is all I had to do. The downside is that it is not worth all that much. A similar smaller chest with no modifications is priced at $195.00 in the mall I am in (marked down from $245.00 because it hasn&#039;t sold).&nbsp; I went ahead and priced mine $249.00, since hope springs eternal ...... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie96" alt=":wacky:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Even if I have to mark it down to sell, it will be good profit.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1966[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1967[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
