I bought a Plan Chest of Drawers recently advertised as 'Mahogany". It was chipboard with a mahogany vaneer! It was held together by staples! It looked like a shoddy patched-up piece of furniture.

Do ask the seller questions. Ask if it is solid wood or vaneered. Ask if it has dovetail joints. Ask if there is any signs of repair or alteration. Ask for extra photos.

I didn't ask and so have no comeback - don't be fooled by the scammers out there!
