Authenticity Indicators
Mass-market construction indicators (visible screws on lower shelf, simple knob hardware, thin backing material). Minimal antique value; purely a decorative modern piece. High confidence.
Flaws to Note
Significant scuffing on the top surface; noticeable paint chips on the drawer fronts and lower shelf edges; likely needs a fresh coat of paint to reach maximum value.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace or Nextdoor. Furniture of this size is difficult and expensive to ship, making local pickup the only profitable option.
Selling Tips
Market it as a 'Refurbishment Project' or a 'Cottage Core Entryway Table.' Take photos in natural light. If you have any black furniture touch-up pens, use them on the white chips before photographing to instantly increase the perceived value.
