Thank you, I'll try to get a picture soon. The piece is probably a cheap imitation of a "waterfall". The pattern above the drawer frame is like little tiny short blond boards end to end in a V pattern with the V's repeated side by side across the frame. The pattern on the feet is the same blond boards but up and down. On the bottom drawer is what looks like dark burled walnut. All of this overlay is very thin, on some type of paper background, like contact paper, but it's wood. The remainder of the piece is stained brown, slightly red, walnut. There are dark accents in the frame around the drawers and the center support for the mirror. I can duplicate the few missing pieces of the "burled walnut" with a paint effect, but the area above the drawer frame and the feet has me stumped. It's really a piece of junk, but the granddaughter loves it. She will be here for spring break, maybe I can talk her into letting us strip it and refinish it all to match. Wish me luck. Thanks
