It is 40 inches wide 70 inches tall made out of hardwood. It’s been in the family since the the 50’s. It has a mirror and curio cabinet with 5 shelves. It also has the original keys. It also has 1 drawer and a large lower cabinet.
It was my grandmother’s and I got it when she passed away. No one else has had it. It has a sticker on the back from the manufacturer that says Forest City Furniture company with some signatures but no date.
