Description
Charming vintage pine wood end table featuring a rustic trestle base and a cottage-style heart cutout on the central cross-brace. The table displays a rich dark brown finish and breadboard-style ends on the rectangular top. Perfect for farmhouse, rustic, or 'cottagecore' interior decor styles. Dimensions appear to be approximately 24 inches wide and 18-20 inches tall.

Typical mass-produced joinery for the late 20th century. High confidence that this is a standard 80s/90s home decor piece rather than a handmade antique.

Significant scuffing and finish loss on the feet/bottom of the trestle legs. Light surface scratches on the top surface. No structural issues noted.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, or local vintage booth. Shipping this item via eBay or Poshmark would likely be cost-prohibitive due to weight and size.
Selling Tips
Highlight 'Cottagecore' or 'Farmhouse' in keywords. Consider a light sanding and restaining of the feet to increase value. Take a photo in a styled setting with a plant or book to show scale.
