Your picture is far too dark to make a good assessment of it.

this is a small oak sideboard,drawer fronts and doors are most likely solid oak, sides and top,veneered, back will be ply...feet might be bun... circa 1930,s/40,s its not an antique...value.is minimal,..,...and as you are on this side of the pond...i,d put this at around £20/£30....if you were lucky....

from what i see the feet are short legs....and the frame looks to be solid oak.....but my valuation remains the same....

So I'll be lucky to get 99p by the looks of it! I have one watcher so far, if I can't get much for it then I would rather see it go to a good home for a few shillings.
