	I'd have to agree with Spanky	1 Relevance	12 years ago	tktoo	General discussion
	I'd have to agree with Spanky. Unless you plan to put your set in the middle of the room, you don't really see much of the wood anyway. And you can't see any when you're sitting in it! The advantage to an oil finish is that scuffs and minor scratches can be much more easily repaired and oil tends to hasten the darkening process which is a good thing with the newer "palisander" veneers that, to my eye, often appear too red fresh out of the box.
	(Grumble)	1 Relevance	12 years ago	objectworship	General discussion
	(Grumble) Define what your needs are, or at least describe (photograph) the context in which the thing will be placed. Otherwise, the question is pointless. Interior decoration doesn't work well using the 'totally random' approach. See a local professional for a consultation if you are a fish flopping on the deck. Or just get this one, it's a classic. Faaaabulous.
	yeah m dennis...	1 Relevance	13 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	yeah m dennis... it is a bit different....who made this thing...is it custom? The current upholstery job is pretty crazy and not in that bad of shape at all. Minus a little bit of dirt that could most likely be cleaned out. I got a bit blazed and started wondering how long it took them to line up all of the stripes with the cushions and piping....good lawd!
	Here	1 Relevance	13 years ago	kcbrains	General discussion
	Here I'm in Canada. It might be sold under a different name on your side of the line. Says its by 'Dumond' or 'peelaway' http://www.homedepot.ca/product/smart-strip-paint-remover-aerosol/980985 Sounds like about the same thing, water based, (no methelyene chloride) that's the stuff you don't want on fiberglass.
	.	1 Relevance	15 years ago	HPau	General discussion
	. Read about that a couple of years ago, I think it never went ahead becuase the upholstery was too difficult at the time, I'm not so keen but it is an interesting thing, I imagine there is a hoop of tube or rod used to make the backrest and the oculus takes the place of what would have been buttoning, if so its almost identical to Victorian chairs even though it looks so different.
	Thank you	1 Relevance	16 years ago	Lenox	General discussion
	Thank you Denatured alcohol worked like a charm. Strange thing occurred to me that the Knoll dresser set that I had posted a few days back has the same issue, in that, there is no protectant. The wood looked dried out and I used the danish oil on the set which help revive its condition. Was this a good idea? Blessings
	The weekend can't come soon enough!	1 Relevance	17 years ago	BuickBoy57	General discussion
	The weekend can't come soon enough! Thanks Thomas for your kind replies, and thanks in advance for you and your Father's time in responding to our inquiries. I know we'll all be waiting anxiously for the True Word on our lovely furnishings! My buffet is the first thing you see when you enter my home, and now that my parents are gone, is a constant reminder of them, as if they're still with us. Best regards, Tom Gibson
	Well,	1 Relevance	18 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	Well, you're just having so much fun kicking this thing to death, I'm certainly not going to take away your fun ! "And why does it sit directly on the floor? Kickboards are good for a reason, won't that . . ." My mother would say, "if only you could hear yourself. . ." My only reply is that I find pleasure in looking at the pattern of the openings. I do wish that it was just a shelf, and not a "clever" art piece. But it is what it is. IKEA has lots of inexpensive and practical bookshelves.
	Barry	1 Relevance	18 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	Barry I would LOVE if it came back in beautiful vintage condition. Unfortunately the woman who owned it sat in it maybe four times since she bought it two years ago. Aside from the break it looks like it just came out of the box - the cushions look like inflated inner tubes and are matte black. No character, no patina. I'm going to have to sit in this thing every day until I'm thirty before it looks the way I want it to. sigh the trials we go through! 😀
	Just wait till MCM gets to be...	1 Relevance	18 years ago	dcwilson	General discussion
	Just wait till MCM gets to be... the next new thing with Jane and John Leung (kind of a Chinese equivalent of Smith). How about a half a billion Womb Chairs FOB/COD? The old Modernists may still realize their dream of a world in which furntiture design is rationalized. Old new ideas die hard. 🙂

	. The more I think about it giving her 25.00 dollars via pay pal is fine.Then forget it.I will say one thing its usually women that take a hard ass/(arse in your country) line on ebay transactions, rarely men in my dealings.I notice her ONE not too clear picture could bypass many sins as well as her scant description...what if its NOT in so good a condition?
	I suppose..	1 Relevance	20 years ago	vivienne	General discussion
	I suppose.. it all depends on how much you want the chest James. Are you willing to "repair" from new and live with it versus your feeling towards craftsmanshp?.As to the box being undamaged, i had a Toio delivered in the 80s and the box was perfect but when i opened it the poor lamp stem was bent right out of shape,however i loved the thing so much that i rebent it myself and its still with me and still as nice.
	Well thanks but...	1 Relevance	22 years ago	Bruce316	General discussion
	Well thanks but... I looked on DogPile and other search engines about the numbers and I find nothing at all. Is 0404 like the 404th chair that was ever made? Like lithographs? The signature is etched in the metal - it was not bought at cassina apparently? though - not sure where it was from exactly. Is this a Sotheby's auction item or an Ebay thing? Your thoughts? Thanks
	Name Game	1 Relevance	22 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	Name Game SDR, you've nailed it down. It's the name, the cachet, the elitistism thing. I have a 'real' ______ (insert possession here). That's what's so interesting about the jetsetmodern article. The woman actually felt guilty about owning something "fake"! Talk about a person who has been trapped into a behavior pattern, yikes!
	PS: I want to be sure I'm properly understood	1 Relevance	22 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	PS: I want to be sure I'm properly understood I want to make clear here that I do indeed support product licensing and will only buy the licensed copy of any works that are protected (example HM Nelson bench). But, I am firmly in favor of free enterpise and I don't think over litigating is a good thing. This my entire problem with this subject.
