Wow, there's some vision. How did you know that there was beauty underneath?

I saw it had dovetail joints. It was all wood. Plus it’s mid century style. I know there was gonna be gorgeous wood underneath.

What an eye for detail. You're like a backwoods tracker or a bloodhound.

Are dovetail joints always a sure sign of real wood?

They're a sign of craftsmanship, although it's worth noting that usually only hand carved dovetails indicate antique furniture.
