I came across this pretty cabinet today at a yard sale and wanted to know some details if anyone has knowledge or help identifying :) There’s an old-looking green sticker on the back that says “Martin Furniture” but most of it has flaked off so that’s all I could read.

EDIT: Bought it for $30 (!!!) since one of the side glass panels had a crack and the lock isn’t functioning. Thank you to everyone who offered their thoughts :) Now to figure out where to put it….

Didn’t expect the first post to blow up. Here are some more pics! Appreciate all the help!

My entryway / dining nook / living space is mostly furnished!

What do you think so far? Any recommendations / critiques / comments are welcome!

Thank you to the community for your inspiration 😄

My wife and I inherited a set of four of these chairs and we were unsure of the origin and it's worth. All we know is that they came from a hospital, and we estimate it was around the '60s. Does anyone have any guesses or relevant information on the type of chair or it's worth?

Does anyone know the maker and age? I don’t see any markers on it. It has metal braces under the seat and flat head screws.

Most likely from the 90’s. Definitely in rough shape but I love a good challenge.

New pick up. Any idea on the history behind the deal and value?

Any info helps plz. Couldn’t find an exact year or model. Hoosier style i believe it is

After having multiple glass table-top orders canceled on me I settled for cheaper table for 42 inches. I just took the top and trashed the actual table.

Unfortunately, it came with the silver knobs and false advertising of the table being split in two pieces. It will do for now, and clearly my cat girls love it.

I have an obsession with mirrors and clocks, but boy my two local goodwills did not disappoint me!

This is my first piece of vintage furniture and I’m wondering about the best way to repair this awesome dude. Any advice?

AI tells me it's a federal drop leaf table. It has metal caps on the feet, no makers mark, and is put together (possibly a repair) with flat head screws. I am curious about the joint mechanism because it's pretty clever - two pop out dovetail joints. Can anyone tell me more about this table? I want to satisfy my curiosity before I pass it along.

First of all, I saw this fella out on the curb a few doors down the night before garbage day...and I couldn't let it go to the dump. Is it missing a drawer? Yeah.. but hey, I'll figure something out. Worst case scenario my cats will love sleeping in the empty space 😂)

So my question, is does anyone know the origins of that classic "antique store smell" that comes on some wood. I don't know how to describe the smell any differently, but it's not musty, moldy, cigarette-y. But it smells like an antique store that has a lot of wood. I love the smell when I'm in an antique store, but I do have pets with scent sensitivities so I don't use any scented products in my home, so I've become kind of sensitive to them as well. I bought the cutest cutting board with a painting of a parrot on it one time and it had the same smell and I've never been able to remove it. Is that just how it smells now? The top of this dresser smells like it, but the drawers, inside and sides don't.

I have no idea what I'm going to do with it yet, I might even give it away on marketplace if I can't find a good use for it and someone wants it, but all I know is it isn't going to a landfill 🙌

Was over the moon to get this tiger oak sideboard for free from a local fb group- anyone have any idea of its potential history? can’t find a maker on it but it came with the original keys from Eagle Lock Co

We recently bought a house and the previous owners left this beautiful corner wine cabinet. Any info would be great! I haven’t been able to find any type of identification on it. I know this picture sucks too I didn’t realize it was so blurry.

Picked this ip in a storage unit auction. Could use some suggestions on how much to restore/refinish. Thanks in advance.

Can anyone tell me more about this old dresser? It was at the local Good Will. It looked like it had been somewhere a long time, then had a quick, bumpy exit. The side (see second pic) went back together with a few taps of a rubber mallet. It was marked down to $1.99 Sorry about the dude bending over

This is my husbands grandparents table and chair set from the 60s I believe. It’s a short game table. Is this anything we should keep or sell? We move them from house to house into storage.
