Thanks, OTJ. I checked it out. The legs look just the ones on the coffee table. What's interesting is that it's $125 PLUS $40 for shipping, which brings the total one would have to invest in the piece to $165. So maybe I did score a find after all. I just couldn't leave it behind because I so very rarely find mid-century furniture in thrifts in this area. The gods know, I don't need another piece of furniture in this house
But this piece really has "fine lines, good bones".
Speaking of furniture, I had an interesting experience about a month ago. DH and I had to clean out his late parents' home of 60+ years of accumulation. Siblings and family would take what they wanted and the rest would be given away. We had two "antiques dealers" come in the look at the 1930s deco full dining room suite, handmade cedar closet, etc. and NOBODY wanted to buy any of it. Reason: It doesn't sell. It seems (and I quoting both dealers) that "the younger generation doesn't want this old stuff. It wants IKEA and families today don't have dining rooms suites and they don't use dining rooms or cedar closets" We gave away the dining room suite to neighbors and the rest either got given to the SalArm or junked.
I mention this because of what the dealers told me they ARE looking for: mid-century modern (suprise, suprise) and vintage kitchen items. They kept eyeing the family room where all the stuff the family was taking was stored, which included Pyrex, Corningware, Revereware, etc. We think they already knew they didn't want the furniture when they agreed to come out; rather, they out to "see what they could see" and, possibly, buy.
