Welcome to our 2nd auction watch, and by watch, I mean….well…..the auction has ended and the piece has been sold (I’m off to a great start here LOL). However I still think it’s worthwhile to share.

This piece was just recently sold on eBay ($169.50). It was marketed as a ‘Danish Retro Atomic Eames Era 4 Drawer Chest of Drawers or Lowline Sidboard’. 

Originally this was a dressing table (you can see the mounting holes in the rear picture below). It’s unfortunate that it is missing as I think it would of had a great shape and really made this an unbelievable piece.

So what exactly do I like about it? Well, pretty much everything. The design, the shape, the handles, the colour, the chrome plated feet and attachments, the makers label!

So, what would you use it for? Well although it is missing it’s mirror, it’s still a great piece of functional furniture. I’d like to see it used in a bedroom setting for storage, perhaps with a wall hung mirror above, but really it’s uses are only limited by your imagination.

The original seller even suggested it’s use as a Lowline (TV?) unit. For sure that would be great, but some advice for those repurposing dressing tables and similar items as a lowline TV unit. Just watch the weight of your TV and the strength and support of the top of your unit.  These pieces were designed to only carry the weight of a few bottles of perfume and makeup, not your 60 inch 50kg flat screen TV!

Until next time!
