<p>[QUOTE="L0z, post: 208213, member: 3918"]Thanks for the info guys! Had a look around at similar pieces, guess like with most things it depends where your situated in regards to the value. For example, I found a very similar piece being sold in Australia and it was listed for $1,400 AUD. Indeed here in the UK & US I'm looking at £200 MAX. It certainly does seem to be the case that brown furniture just isn't in fashion at the moment.</p><p><br /></p><p>With this in mind, I think it quite justifies why we have seen an increase in restored furniture popping up in the Shabby Chic style & generally much lighter, brighter colours. I think it might be worth me doing something similar with the few items of furniture I have in stock. I have a beautiful solid oak extendable dining table, vintage 1950's-60's (approximately 7ft) As it is I'd be lucky to get £150 for it, however if I bring back the top to it's original light oak and shabby chic the base in a nice pearl white or something similar, from the research I've done I could be looking at making more around the £500 for it.
