Linda, thank you so much - you have given me some great info. I was not familiar with "library table". I've searched but can find no markings on it at all. The bookends have a green felt covering on the bottom but on the side is printed Japan. Nothing else. The spoon is a gold color but no markings. The oval dish/box is very thin and delicate with some hairline cracks in it. Could 10-64 on the bottom refer to a date or is this probably in reference to something else? As for the victorian bedroom set - can you suggest any other info? Is it Eastlake, etc? I've been trying to find something similar with no results. I'm not parting with the other pieces of furniture, but I do need to get rid of this set asap. I would like to try to clean it up a little but not sure if it has any value in this shape. Thanks for any additional info or advice! ~Terri

I haven't found many options, actually. My dining room table--from the old Storehouse chain--is glass top, stainless "portica-like" legs. I want a console to go with it. But with a maple/natural wood top, not a glass one. There are not very many out there! Actually--I have found nothing except for the R&B line. The frames themselves are reasonable; once you add the wood, the price skyrockets. Dunno why, really. Have you been to a R&B store yet? In September, I bought a bed, mattress and maple TV armoire from R&B--I'm still very happy with my purchases. (The service level at the NYC store, though, that's another story.) Their delivery rates seemed reasonable to me, also, and they are lowering the costs for smaller items. Another option is to find a woodworker to build you a top; you can buy the Portica legs separately from R&B. Now, I know you said you wanted a dark wood top, but just for the fun of it, check out Crate & Barrel's Era line of stainless/glass tables--maybe the dimensions would work? (C&B's "younger" site--CB2.com--once offered a stainless-leg console, which I have, but lately they've gone to the gray powdercoat finishes or shiny chrome. But there might be something there that strikes your fancy...)

I really appreciate your input. I know I tend to ramble in my descriptions; it's my brain's fault! The line on the floor, where the new "repair" boards were set against the original floor boards is straight and true. My photo is crooked. The line is at a right angle to the wall. It would be mostly covered by the cabinet. The cabinet is 31" long/wide; the line is 48" long. There will still be a bit of a line, but maybe all the color and "beauty" will overwhelm it! Originally there were twenty 12" marble tiles in this area. There's nothing more fun than coming in with snow and ice on your boots and stepping on slick marble. Those puppies had to come out; I'll embrace the line and love it! The other side of the seam is hidden inside the closet. I love my closet! I really want the red cabinet for (1) the display area top, (2) the happy color, (3) somewhere to safely keep a few of my most precious books, and (4) an entire row of my "bestest" BBC comedy DVDs. Here's the patch line inside the closet while it was still in progress. This is the larger dining table when I had it in the nook; it's crowding the kitchen now. :) I like the small round table in this spot so much better! Although the big table gave me room for the three house plants I'm trying to keep thriving.

I’d do some fun knobs ... colored glass, painted design, etc. (But keep the originals, as mentioned above.) Just some examples below. Etsy, Hobby Lobby, and lots of other places have good selections .... https://www.amazon.com/Set-Dresser-Knobs-Handmade-Decorative/dp/B07P5T7KSC/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&qid=1590523762&refinements=p_n_material_two_browse-bin%3A5740653011&s=hardware&sr=1-4 https://www.amazon.com/Talavera-Floral-Print-Cabinet-Knobs/dp/B07FWF386H https://www.amazon.com/Artncraft-Vintage-Designed-Cupboard-Hardware/dp/B082FLCXWD?ref_=s9_apbd_omwf_hd_bw_b28zu&pf_rd_r=6BEJJ14X6ZMN7AP2DK43&pf_rd_p=6ba09622-8be1-5e0f-96b8-5355d2d9d3c2&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-10&pf_rd_t=BROWSE&pf_rd_i=511246
