A bit of a project... some veneer lifting, pot-metal may have issues...

Re: Credenza needs a good home...
Is it just my imagination, or is the cabinet color rather light ?
I'm used to Credenzas being fairly dark walnut, or mahogany...

It's likely been refinished, or exposed to a lot of sunlight over the years.

Looks like the original finish was stripped. Salvageable though. The color was in the lacquer.

Perhaps, but say theoretically if there wasn't.....and only one bidder.....it would have sold for $9.99.

The "Local Pick-up Only" option is also rather off putting.
