<p>[QUOTE="Mansons2005, post: 822907, member: 121"]From my personal point of view the stretchers don't work from a functional OR a design angle. It is out of proportion, clunky, dysfunctional, and as you mentioned, a mishmash of styles. I think the manufacturer was trying too hard to encompass everything that had been in style for decades with the then current trends, and pushing their idea of "the latest" thing. A dismal failure in all respects, but it probably did appeal to a certain class of buyer at the time. All that said, if I owned it and had nothing other, I would probably "dress it" and use it as a sideboard................[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
