Found it on the curb, and I liked the design. Looks like solid wood, but the joints are all coming apart and look tricky to reinforce. Would you bother?

As someone who isn't a woodworker, but enjoys having things that make me happy- if you like the design and it makes you happy, go for it. You have nothing to lose but time, and if you learn something in the process (i.e. those tricky looking joints you mentioned) then you are ahead no matter what.
