Oh you know I saved the best for last.
Danish. Vintage. Credenza. What? Over seven feet long with tons of storage?
How much?
$29.99
Oh yes, my bi-otches. Thirty f*ing dollars.
But how is this low low price possible from the same thrift store (the most overpriced Angel View thrift in all of Palm Springs) that has had a $1,200 fugly coffee table and a $4,500 broken patio set?
Well, there are a few issues.
Number One: Those lovely skeleton key holes – there are four of them and they are all locked. I’ve got no key and I’ve been trying to jimmy the locks by following all the advice I can google.
If anyone has a suggestion for picking these locks, I’d love to hear it.
Number Two: It’s missing the entire left side corner trim piece. So that really sucks, but I feel it could be patched and remedied…just probably not anytime soon and not 100% seamlessly.
Number Three: General vintage wear and tear. Not too bad considering the price, I’ve seen and fixed worse. A few water stains, some light scratching and overall it’s a bit dried out and in need of a good oiling.
Even with all the problems I think it’s still a beautiful piece worthy of fixing up. I’m not sure where this behemoth will end up in the house, but for now its chilling in the living room.
