I guess I should explain this a bit. This is an old oak piece that has been in my mother's family for several generations now. I have no idea what it is called, and frankly, I think it is pretty ugly. It doesn't 'go' with anything in my house, and it's not exactly, um symmetrical. That bothers my OCD. There is a mirror that goes in the back but it's not currently on there - something about looking at myself all the time kind of weirds me out. I have wondered what it would be worth on Antiques Roadshow, so I have emailed them w/ pics and info since they'll be in Raleigh soon. It was made in the 1800s (I think) and still has part of the original manufacturer's label on the back, but as my luck would run, not enough of the manufacturer's name to actually figure anything out. If there is anyone out there who knows what this behemoth is called, I would appreciate any help. In my family we just call it 'that big ugly oak piece.'

Good luck getting it on Antiques Roadshow, Miles and I love that program. If you get a call back, let us know. How cool would it be for you to be on there, showing off your piece and the guy is like, OH MY GOSH, NOW THIS IS A VERY RARE FIND. $1,000,000.00 and I'll buy it off you today. Sometimes I have that dream, :). Keep us posted!
Heh....sometimes I dream that too!! :)
