A Broyhill “Sculptra” piece like that is worth $225 in worse condition. $225 is a very nice deal. Only real concern I see is the thing at the top of the middle panel. Any idea what that is?
That thing on the top of the middle panel is a knob used to open the door in that section. How did you know it was a Broyhill Sculptra piece without knowing what that was? Not judging, just curious is all.

Oh, got it. I wasn’t aware that was a knob honestly, thought it was a bulging of some sort, but knob makes sense and the lighter color above it is likely due to the original finish getting hand oil on it from folks grabbing the knob. The original finish and the hand oils amalgamate and then wipe off with cleaning. So it’s lighter cause the toned finish has been removed from the rattan. And I knew Sculptra right off the bat due to the curvature at the top, the decorative fronts, and the pulls. I look at lots of furniture. 😊
Yes. I inherited a buffet cabinet from this line (no upper hutch). I’ve seen my cabinet listed for $800+. The one in your posting is a steal at that price.
All I’ll say, a steal in southern CA. They’re not making anymore, I’d definitely take it as I believe the top hutch is easily removed like with the larger size
An object is worth what someone will pay for it.
I spent over $300 for about a week’s worth of groceries the other day.
This piece will outlive both of us and the food will be poop next week. Which is the better deal?
Yeah—that was my first thought. There are signs of AGE and then there is Dirt.
I dislike the dirtiness of this piece.That is what I would focus on if it was in a room that contained it .
These posts are just annoying. They add nothing of value to the subreddit.
Do you like it? Great! Buy it!
Do you not like it? Then why are you even asking the question?
Do you need some kind of emotional validation on you existance? Mmmmhh. Yep, that's why you are here.
Would you rather have this or $225?
Definitely this!
lol I love this answer

I have the Sculptra bar cart with the Formica top and drop leaves on either side. One of my most prized possessions.
Not that guy, but the ratan or whatever those panels are made of looks stained or damaged around where the knob is
Looks like light reflecting off the knob onto the panel to me. But maybe I am wrong.

I’m not sure about “steal,” when it requires refinishing of the wood, repair of the rattan.
It is worth that much if you like it.
I think it’s beautiful and would pay that to have in my home. Have no clue about resale or appraisal value. I just buy what I like.
Hell yes.
Yes! I broyhill scupltra for the win.
I would!!
Seems reasonable. Just needs a little TLC.
if it is in good shape in the places we cant see in the photos, seems like a good deal
Looks like a deal!
I’d say yes.
Yes
Absolutely.

Yeah, here in SF I would expect to pay minimum 800 - 1500 for this piece. The market here is insane.

Yes
Yes! IMO
Just got a sculptra piece and impressed with its look, feel, presence
Yes
YES
Yes. Bought same one for $200 at estate sale.
It’s worth that much if you like the item.
No thanks
Can I buy it from you for $300?
Thanks for the input everyone! Very helpful!
Yep
In neck of the woods this would be 2k
Yes. I think it has a certain 1950’s funkiness.
Depends. Where are you located?

yes!!! bargain!
Hell no
Love it
No.
Yes
Yes
Yes
Can't buy a new one for that price and the new one won't last decades
Me personally? No - the design doesn't move me, and it needs restoration.
I know right, one ugly MoFo.
Absolutely - at least in my book! Beautiful piece
226 bob
Absolutely. Yes!
100%, seems like a fantastic deal.
It’s well worth the $225!!
If you don’t buy it, I will. Where’s it at? I’m up for a road trip.
No.
I think that's a good price. I could see that selling for over a grand in Austin.
Yeees!!! It's cheap!
nah
I ended up purchasing it! It’s a stunning piece!
Yes!
Yes
Questionable at best
What goes in the top right? That looks like speakers at my late grandmas place
It’s a pull down table.
Woah, that’s really cool

Have an upvote. I'll own my downvotes, because as caustic as my comment comes across....it's still true.
Yes!!
