Answer
Try the following. It will take some time and carefulness, but it should help. Materials needed: rubbing alcohol, colored woodfillers, craft sticks or plastic knives, light-tack painter's tape, rottenstone, clear tung oil, manicurist's emeryboards (rough, smooth, super-fine) clean, soft, lint-free rags.
1) Use alcohol on cotton swabs to completely remove all crayon. 2) Use strips of extremely light-tackiness painters tape to mask off both edges of the scratches. 3) get quality brand wood filler (Minwax, Elmers) in shades as close as possible to the color of the drawer. Buy 2 or 3 shades with the red, yellow, brown values of the wood as you will need to mix them together. Using wood craft sticks or plastic knives mix up tiny batches of wood filler, combining the colors until you get one that is as close as possible to the shade of your furniture. 4) With a rag wettened with alcohol, slightly dampen each scratch (helps wood filler adhere) and using the craft stick or plastic knife like a putty knife, press a small amount of wood filler into each scratch, slightly under-filling each. 5. Let dry per instructions on wood filler. 6. Second coat each scratch with wood filler (no alcohol this time) until filled scratch is even with adjoining surface. 7) Let cure to "sanding time" per instructions on wood filler. 8) Use a manicurist's emery boards, start with rough, then smooth, then super-fine, to sand smooth (go in direction of scratch, g-e-n-t-l-y) until filled scratch feels almost as smooth as the furniture. 9) Mix up a small amount (1/4 cup) of rottenstone (available in small boxes in furniture finishing section of big box stores) with clear tung oil (Formby's or Dansk) and rub in direction of scratches. 10) remove masking tape and polish entire drawer front with rottenstone/tung oil compound. Wipe off excess with soft dry cloth.

White Fine Furniture (brand) bedroom set?

My girlfriend is in the process of trying to sell some of the furniture that was in her moms house. She already sold her bedroom set for a few hundred dollars but her mothers bedroom set seems to be of a much higher quality and we are unsure as to what is is worth. The matched medium stained bedroom set is made by White Fine Furniture and includes 2 dressers 2 night stands and a headboard with book storage. All of it is very heavy telling me that it is a hard wood but I am unsure what wood it is. The quality of this stuff seems very high and most of the hinges are heavy piano style and the drawers have a nice heavy but smooth pull action to them. The set is 100% unscratched anywhere and in perfect condition. I did a little research via wiki on the company but finding any real info on the furniture they made is very difficult because of the name âWhiteâ just brings up white colored bedroom sets. Without seeing this set can you give me any idea at all what it may be worth given this info?
Yeah....that is what I did as per my comments on reading about the company on wiki.

Answer
I did a Yahoo! search for "White Fine Furniture Company" and came up with 98 results. By using the quotation marks in the search box, you will only get results that contain those four words in that exact order. Here is a link to a wiki article on the company:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_furniture_company

I'm betting that if you do the same search, you will find plenty of information that will lead to a reasonable estimate of value.

Good luck with your search for information.
