The staggered drawer pulls,the inlaid "flower" at each corner.I thought these pieces were somehow noteworthy,but couldn't quite put my finger on it.Yet no other markings,so I passed up a credenza,a hutch,a chest of drawers,all priced at $49-99.00 each.D-oh! Goes to show,knowledge is power.
There's no mention of Nelson...
There's no mention of Nelson + Associates doing any designs for American of Martinsville in the Nelson book. They don't even really look like a Nelson design. It's just another one of those things where one deceptive person recently has said it is so everyone else jumps on the internet attribution bandwagon
everyoneeees listing them as ...
everyoneeees listing them as nelson... :/ I passed on a coffee table for 10 bucks a few weeks ago and I to was thrown off by the inlays! Seemed like a nice table I thought it might have been danish till I got home...Oh well if it was nelson i would be somewhat upset but since its not I can continue living.
I have the credenza/hutch...
I have the credenza/hutch piece from this line right now, and recently sold a coffee table. Although not designed by Nelson, I think the pieces are fairly good looking and seem to be well made. They're certainly solid. I read somewhere that the X-shaped inlays are aluminum. There is also an end table I've seen that's great looking - it's kind of a curved wedge shape. These pieces are usually fairly inexpensive, too, which is nice.
I have seen a side table...
I have seen a side table version with a nelson pull on the drawer which could start confusion. not a fan of the x though, the dressers are all right but some of the tables and chairs miss the mark.

Is this one of them?
The price might be right for someone looking for one of these.
