    I acquired this from a neighbor. No history provided. Pine, beautiful curved legs, very simple piece. Would love to find out where it was built, a common style, anything.

      If u will “edit” your pictures in some way then repost them, they will be oriented upright.
      Hope that helps you.

      Just tried, the pics are correctly oriented on my camera but when downloading come out like this! And I'm not the most techno savvy person in the world! I'll retake some tomorrow!

      I use my iPhone pictures. They post sideways unless I first edit each picture—you can just “straighten”, change borders, enlarge or do just about anything to it, then touch “done”, then repost the picture. I know it’s nutty but it works.

      The FAQ's tell you how to properly orient pictures but you have to read them. Downloading to a computer to orient then post them usually takes care of the issue. Just open the file, see that it is properly oriented then be sure to save the file before you close it.

      FROM FAQ's
      Rotate your photos. After the shoot, be sure to rotate your photos if needed so they appear right-side up. Images shot with a smartphone or tablet sometimes do not appear properly rotated on our site, so you may want to download photos to your computer first and then rotate them using your computer’s photo-editing software before uploading.

      Watchsearcher is right. I rotated them in Computer still came up sideways?? You have to change picture!! Cropping them worked for me.

      Nice chest of drawers. Images of how the drawer fronts are joined to the sides of the drawers are often helpful, too.

      Looks to be American Empire-- don't see these three drawer versions a lot.

      A photo of the dovetails should confirm the dating of about 1830- 60s.

      Most examples have dark veneer woods. With no evidence of a stripped veneers, this may be an example from late in the period by a more rural maker.
