    Beautiful! I picked up an old one at our goodwill for $15.
    It needs repairs but is in overall sturdy condition. Just needs some "love". Right now it sits in my office as is with some fabric and a quilt draped over it. It looks pretty good just sitting there!

    Beautiful restoration. My sister has one that has been in our family for over 100 years. It has leather on the sides and a gilded top with brass. It needs some restoration but still looks great.
