YUP- great deal. The age of the piece doesn't matter, as long as its sturdy and you like the look.
I sell new furniture for a living. I see some customers shy away from what I'm selling because of the price. I understand that. Then they go to the cheapest store in town and pay $250 for a complete set. Which WILL fall apart within the first year. Their choice. My own sister in law went there because of price. I told her "you'll be replacing it within a year" and she told me, "I'm not hard on furniture, and its only me." guess what happened 6 months later? It all fell apart. she quietly replaced it and swore the family to secrecy becuase she didn't want me to say I told you so. I didn't, but wanted to!
If I had $250 to spend, and I had a choice of new furniture of a cheapo kind vs. good older stuff, I'll take the older stuff. First off, its built to last (as testimented to being 20 years old) and secondly, it has character!
Then you can tell everyone that you are living GREEN and have an awesome vintage bedroom set.
