My Craigslist dresser find

I talked about how over Memorial Day weekend I finally found some Campaign furniture knock offs. Well, I'm finally getting around to posting about them.

For those that haven't heard of Campaign, it's a really old line of British furniture (I'll let you do the research this time). Now the real stuff is really old and really pricey. In the 60's and 70's the style started getting knocked off and that's what you mostly see floating around today (usually good solid wood). My parents bedroom set was a Lane knockoff of the Campaign look. If only I had realized then what they had...I may have begged to have their bedroom set.

Now onto what I found. This is a knock off of a knock off. As in it's not the coveted knock offs that everyone (including myself) is searching for. There are so things missing. Such as the solid wood construction and the wood strips that separate each drawer. Also the handles are a little off, but beggars can't be choosers.

While I know that these aren't the quality I was hoping for, what did sell me was the price and the fact that it's okay if they get beat up in all over our moves. We got 6 pieces for $175. Yes...that's right, we got a dresser, a high boy, what looks like a file cabinet, two bedside tables and a mirror. It's far more than I was expecting us to get, but still awesome.

Now for pictures...of them living in the garage waiting for the move.


The low 6 drawer dresser is the one that will be painted green and placed in the guest bedroom. Now I just have to find a green paint I like and wait till we move to paint it. The others...well I have no idea.
