This was left on the sidewalk, I asked the owner if I could have. It was a quality piece of solid wood but very golden syrup in colour and rather out of date. I love up cycling pieces like this and giving them a new purpose. I actually kept this one as it suits my decor. It was very scratched and well worn with an over hang that made it out dated.
