China Cabinet - FREE
I have a china cabinet that you can have for free if you provide the transportation and muscle to come and pick it up! (We are in a near north suburb)
It's a heavy solid wooden piece, heirloom quality. It has cabinets on the bottom and shelves with glass doors on top, and it is one piece -- the top "hutch" part is not removable. It was in a smoker's home before it came to us, so there is some lingering odor.
Dimensions are 66" high by 47.5" wide by 16" deep. Pictures available at http://web.augsburg.edu/~voss/chinacabinet.html .
Email voss@augsburg.edu if you are interested.
