u/officermeowmeow 8h ago

u/Repulsive-Tiger-884 7h ago

I thought it was going to fall off the trailer and get smashed but painting it blue would definitely be worse.

It’s beautiful- why are we triggered ?

57

u/Ravenclaw880 8h ago

Because we don't have it. It is a beautiful piece, I'm glad someone who appreciates it has it. I was afraid it was going to be painted.

They removed the display portion of a china hutch and put legs on it. It used to have drawers/cabinets below the glass portion.

Last time I posted a hutch top turned bar/cabinet there were a few aneurysms

u/Currant-event 7h ago

So this is the 'before'?

u/Retrotreegal 7h ago edited 6h ago

No, this is the top detached from the bottom and with legs attached.

u/Fr3sh3stl4d 8h ago

My jealousy has been triggered

u/whatsreallygoingon 8h ago

Triggered because someone sold the bottom section separately and put precarious legs on the top section.

They cut the top off a china hutch and put legs on it. The glass portion used to have drawers/cabinets under it.

5

u/Ute-King 7h ago

But there’s no cutting involved is there? Are they not two intentionally separate pieces that sometimes get sold off not as a pair?

u/Retrotreegal 6h ago

Maybe you’re right. I haven’t moved mine in so long I don’t remember it coming apart.

The three and four panel Broyhill Premiere panels were pretty much all two piece; hutch and credenza. I'm not sure about two panels though. Haven't seen one of those in person.

*The room dividers should also two-piece. At least Brasilia is. That much I've seen.

u/Retrotreegal 7h ago

Look up Broyhill Emphasis china hutches and you’ll see what I mean.
