But I wouldn't want to see it painted unless it was in bad shape. I'm kind of a fan of painting furniture if it *needs* doing, not because everything just *should* be painted. But that's totally personal preference.<br /><br />I also like the wider dimension of the new one, I think it balances the piece hanging above it better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343939021922948155.post-49060418975129072822012-04-23T21:16:49.522-07:002012-04-23T21:16:49.522-07:00I prefer the original one tooI prefer the original one tooJulie Bhttp://cvhs83n85.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343939021922948155.post-40432804358018529882012-04-23T20:01:25.772-07:002012-04-23T20:01:25.772-07:00SHAPE, not shaoe. sorrySHAPE, not shaoe. sorryDonna Leavitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02976889326189292842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343939021922948155.post-50777419735163257982012-04-23T20:00:32.941-07:002012-04-23T20:00:32.941-07:00I prefer the shaoe and legs on the newer piece.I prefer the shaoe and legs on the newer piece.Donna Leavitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02976889326189292842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343939021922948155.post-40400448043464806952012-04-23T19:44:42.950-07:002012-04-23T19:44:42.950-07:00I love the old one best.

I think that the lamp on the right hand side wouldn't look right with the new one because of the space under the legs (if you know what I mean lol).

It is a beautiful piece and I agree with Karen that it would definitely lose some of it's charm if it were painted. Not all pieces of furniture are meant to have a coat of paint on them. If the wood is in bad shape then I'd consider refinishing it as it appears to be beautiful, quality wood.Jennifer B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07449453521005162702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343939021922948155.post-35904115533725274112012-04-23T10:15:40.622-07:002012-04-23T10:15:40.622-07:00Although it's a hard decision to make I would ...Although it's a hard decision to make I would choose the "new" buffet it's light and airy and you gotta love those legs!!David and Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342917535302837164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343939021922948155.post-25620966964768896162012-04-23T09:58:57.553-07:002012-04-23T09:58:57.553-07:00This is a hard one.

And it's wider than the decorative piece. If you need the storage, stay with the first one. If you don't, I'd suggest the new one.<br /><br />Peace,<br />EdieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343939021922948155.post-81391062571458292132012-04-23T09:44:50.069-07:002012-04-23T09:44:50.069-07:00I like the new buffet; however, I think it is not ...I like the new buffet; however, I think it is not substantial enough to take the large piece on the wall or the wainscoting.

If I had to pick a favorite though it would be the spindle leg one that your friend found. That's an amazing piece! And, usually I'm all for freshening old furniture with paint, but the wood still looks beautiful.
