<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 9817476, member: 37"]Buffet/hutch does look like cherry. The chairs and table frame are more likely to be birch stained to match the cherry. Cherry is not a particularly good wood for chairs, though some are certainly made with it from time to time. Most big furniture companies in the US do not use it for chairs. Would like a good shot of the table top to see the wood (if not formica). Can't tell in the photo. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sadly, agree that the buffet would probably sell better without the hutch these days. I suppose you could always photograph it both ways and let people know that they don't necessarily need to take the hutch if they don't want it. The prices Ola quoted above would be a tad high for my semi-rural Midwest area. Would probably be a good starting point. You can always come down if you need to. If in or near a large metro area, they might be fine. Think you are going to need to research going rates for used furniture in your area.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
