<p>[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 234494, member: 51"]There is quite a bit about Mersman furniture online, the link above for starters. Also almost 200 pieces of Mersman furniture currently on Ebay. In a quick search I didn't find this piece. On Ebay under "Sold" the most expensive piece sold for $365, it was a Mersman Queen Anne style Mahogany hallway table and the least expensive sold for $10 which was a Mersman Formica topped coffee table. A table like this is probably closer to the lower end of things, but more than what you paid.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ironically, the fact that it has been painted might even be a slight plus for an item like this, if the former owner painted it well. (Normally you'd expect that wood furniture that has been painted would goes down in value, but brown furniture currently is in sort of a sales slump, and repainted things seem to be selling just fine.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Seems like a functional little table.
