I only know it was made in the 50s or 60s. It's mainly veneer (ruined in some pieces, you can't tell from the photo, so it requires some refreshing) and probably plywood inside, but I can't tell what wood was used for the veneer or legs. It doesn't have any indication of the brand.
I am considering buying this but the I think the seller is trying to rip me off, so I would like to hear your opinion on this.
@terkid9324 We generally do not discuss prices in this forum, and your request is a good example of why. It is impossible to give an objective value for this sideboard. It cannot be attributed to a well-known designer, at least in my opinion. There are also not, as with an Eames chair, 1000 offers on the market whose prices can be compared. You can only find this particular sideboard beautiful or not. It is quite possible that it would fit perfectly into your home, rounding off your kitchen or living room furnishings, and providing the missing piece to the puzzle that is your apartment. Wouldn't a high price be justified in this case? But if you only need it for the basement to store your screw collection, then you probably wouldn't want to pay that much. But you wouldn't have to, because another piece of furniture – from Ikea, if necessary – would do the job. The question is: how badly do you want this particular piece of furniture? How much is it worth to you? And how badly does the seller want to get rid of this item? These are the criteria that ultimately determine the price. What you can do is look for alternatives on Craigslist, Ebay or at auctions and get comparative prices there. The more flexible you are in your ideas, the cheaper you will get away in the end.

In short, it's worth exactly however much you are willing to pay for it.
