Faux-Victorian Chest of Drawers, free to good home
I need to get rid of this thing, my stepbrother was going to take it but he has been unable to borrow a large enough vehicle. It's actually a pretty decent piece of furniture( real solid wood, though probably just pine stained to look like walnut---but still, no flimsy particle board) but it has always been too big for my room, and I bought a nice, more space-efficient antique chest to replace it already, thinking I could swap them out myself if I removed the drawers. I couldn't. SO the catch is, if you want it, YOU have to get it out of my room and haul it off( you'll need a truck or large SUV to accomplish this), and it needs to go through a very narrow doorway that is probably no more than an inch or two wider than the narrowest part of the dresser. It DID come in through that door fully assembled so I know it can go out, but it's tricky and definitely a two-person operation (I laid myself up for more than two months with a back injury after trying it myself), and best if the two people are fairly strong guys. My house is a mess and I'm pretty embarrassed to let anyone come over, but it isn't going to get any better until I can get this out and the other chest of drawers which is in the middle of my livingroom currently, into it's proper place. Because this will involve people actually coming into my bedroom, which really isn't fit for visitors just yet, I'd prefer it if you are at least acquainted with someone I know in real life who can provide an introduction of sorts.
There is also a tall bookshelf which stacks with this to make it kind of a highboy style, you can take that as well if you want but that part has some water damage---the wood is still sound, just needs a light sand and stain to make it match the lower part again.

It is 40 inches wide by 19 inches deep and 30 inches tall. The upper shelf addition is 32 inches wide, 11 deep, and 48 inches tall.
