Bassett Furniture Bedroom Set?

A tall armory with drawers.We inherited our bedroom set in 1997 from a couple who apparently owned it for several years before that. I have no idea if they bought new or inherited the set themselves. Maybe 1970s or 1980s?

We have a headboard with cubbies on either side; the cubby doors are on a track which allows them to slide completely across from one side to the other. We also have four tall armoires. In addition, we have a light bar (seen stacked on top of the wider armoires) which can be screwed and mounted over any pair of the armoires. (I've included a rather aged picture showing a time when we had the light bar deployed.)

The stamp in the drawers say "Bassett" and the back of the headboard has a stamp which reads "211-2209-114, ART. 4707, C-202-N." What is the year of manufacture of this set, and what might it be worth? Thank you.

The final value of your set will depend on several things:
Location: shipping on large items is very costly, so that leaves the buying area to wherever the set is located. Some people will travel 100 miles for a bargain but most will only travel maybe 25 miles.

The market in your area could be good or 'no interest'. You'll have to check similar furniture sales on local selling sites like Craigslist, Facebook marketplace (your zip), USA4Sale, etc.
This means item is advertised as 'local pick up'.

Condition: overall condition - scratches/knicks/etc.

Pictures: without really good pictures, you may not receive interest from anyone. I would not use any pictures you show other than the label picture.

You can look at similar sets located online and make a decision based on all of the above suggestions.
Start with a higher number and list on several sites; starting with the sites listed above.

You can always ask for help from forums or even ask for a free appraisal. I doubt that anyone will be of much help without better, uncluttered pictures. Take a look at a lot of listings to get some idea of what type of pictures show up best.
