[QUOTE="pyro, post: 1965791, member: 14701"]Thank you all for the really helpful information. You are all very knowledgeable extremely responsive. I am about an hour from Philly and Allentown PA. Near Reading area. The leather held up very well on all three pieces - not perfect but I like the aging :) There is one extra shiny spot on one end table-no idea why. The coffee table has a small wobble but otherwise really nice. Are you certain the wood is pine? On close inspection it looks like a single piece and it feels much harder than pine though it does look like pine grain to me also. You think it might be a well made veneer(mentioned above)? I’m having a hard time seeing the separation on the sides but I think I see it on the top. I took the second picture where it looks like veneer near the edge - but you all are much better at seeing that sort of thing. Value-wise does that 150-200 sound about right for all three pieces? The value does make a difference for me because my wife is pushing for me to get rid of them but I am torn on keeping them in my office instead. That is one of the reasons I asked you all, the experts. I really wanted to know more about them. Antiques have a story and I love them. I have another piece I was given by my father but that is for a different post. I was told it dates back decades further.[/QUOTE]
