[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 175079, member: 25"][B][I]Btw, "skänk" means "sideboard" or "dresser" in swedish and "slut" means "end"..[/I][/B] This must make American English confusing for Swedish visitors. A picture of the whole piece of furniture would help, but to me it sounds like a kit of parts job, made up from what was available. Sometimes referred to as a marriage, sometimes as a dog's breakfast. If it does the job and was not expensive, that's all fair enough. If it was sold as an original antique you are right to question it.[/QUOTE]
