A French vintage laquered wood fibre corner shelf. We only noticed after getting this home that it was the top from what was a larger set of drawers in the past – so missing its bottom 1 or two shelf’s. Some damage and wear but still holding together. Not an exceptionally strong piece but quite capable. We would suggest that this stand is for decorative use only and for light duty as a plant stand or little table. Please see further notes on condition and important safety information below.
From our no frills, budget section these are vintage items we have a lot of, or are a little more worn and damaged than those in our other shops on Etsy. We always have over 500 stools and stands in our three stores on Etsy. See the links below.
