I have a big bread baker’s Hoosier cabinet in my kitchen. I’m not a baker, I’ve never had any use for it.
Very similar to this one, with a flour sifter, and slide-out porcelain steel table:
My older sister shipped it to me without asking me, and then told me it was coming about two days before it arrived. Our mom had just died, and my sister didn’t have room for it, but she “wanted it to stay in the family.”
It is a beautiful piece, solid oak, probably over 100 years old. So, I kept it. It just sits there, taking up space in my barely-big-enough kitchen. I expect when I die, my only son will sell it. I should probably just sell it now, my sister would hate me for it, though.

You should ship it back to your sister without telling her.
I’m sure you could give her a discounted rate
I’ll take it
You could use it for something other than baking? That is a nice piece of furniture.
If I was in your place I’d put that cabinet in the living room lmao.
Maybe use the middle compartment as display for Lego and action figures.
Dude, sell it. Someone else WILL want it and use it. You want money. And your sister will get over it.
I get it, family and all, but “wanted it to stay in the family" is a silly reason to inconvenience someone else.
Maybe buy a small log cabin in the middle of nowhere. https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/867-Lippert-Hollow-Rd_Allegany_NY_14706_M37796-74538 https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/489-Martha-Ave_Olean_NY_14760_M46500-11332 and fill it up with everything.
