Depends on whether or not the stuff was junk to begin with. Just because
it's old doesn't mean it was well-constructed. Chances are it was but we
really don't know. Even if it was, it's entirely possible the original
cabinetry and such was ripped out in a kitchen rehab years ago and replaced
with more modern crap
