<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 9437713, member: 6444"]Videos are not the best way to do this, especially when you move around so quickly. If you want to find someone to sell or give it to, you’ll do much better with several decent pics with them cleared off and fully set up. Craigslist or Facebook marketplace, though personally I only use the former. Some local consignment store may also work, if that is possible for you.

I’ll talk about it here, assuming you may add it here. Maybe walnut or cherry wood, or mahogany veneer like your chest? Nice four poster that could have been a rope bed except no holes or pins in the rails and you said you have a metal frame that fits it. Unfortunately unlikely to be a standard modern mattress size, so not a lot of demand though someone may want to extend the rails or use the headboard and footboard on a metal frame.</p><p><br /></p><p>Agree with Brad about the age and style of the chest in the video in this post, but unfortunately the drawer pulls have been replaced with later ones, thus the patched holes.
