I found this at goodwill. Could you tell me if this is a sewing cabinet. The top lifts up.

It really looks like books staked on top of each other...maybe it was for a formal library in a home????
It is a beautiful piece of furniture!

I'm not sure it is; but I bet you it will be, At least at my house it would be. It is lovely.

The two bottom drawers pull out.

Ahh.. maybe it is a floss caddy?

wow, it sure is pretty. I have tons of threads and flosses. yummy! :-D
It can be anything you want it to be. I would definitely put it either in my sewing room or my bedroom for something special. slurp! :D

It's a Library Side Table..Susan is right! :)

It's really pretty...it would have followed me home too!

Thanks, I've never seen one like this. I thought the side tables all had longer legs and was pushed tight against the wall.

Don't know what it was originally but sure is great :mrgreen: You can use it any way you want :wink: LOL

are those hinges on the back? do the other front drawers open? it might have been a secretary or a ladies' chest. what are the measurements?

whatever it was, it wasn't made to go against a wall. the back is prettier than the front. imo.
