	Looks like homemade American... Looks like homemade American ply knockdown furniture to me. Type of thing you would find in one of the Nomadic Furniture books, Popular Mechanics, or make your own modern furniture books by Dal Fabro, Cherner, etc

	Those chaires were made f... Those chaires were made for the federated dept store chain, Folys Bloomingdales,Riches.in the late 60's through the 80s they were very well made and as close to the Herman miller chair, as you could get with out making a china clone, but....... every thing is off from the original Herman miller.
	I've seen a ton of Burke	1 Relevance	10 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	I've seen a ton of Burke tables over the years and not one has ever had a painted laminate top. I have seen tons of furniture in general that has been painted to match something or other in the rest of the decor of the home, so that seems a likely explanation of what you have. Way more likely than the thing being painted originally. Also, I'm pretty sure that there weren't any paints in that era that would adhere to plastic very well, so it would not have been a durable finish. Now there are paints made specifically for plastic but they're a very recent innovation.

	a simple addition... ...to the "4-bay" (in your picture) would be to add the smaller "2-bay" three drawer unit next to it. Adding the smaller unit to the right of the larger one would create a longer "6-bay" storage unit. (Much more elegant and streamlined total shape than the single 4-bay, in my opinion.) I have had a 2x and a 4x ESU pair for about 15 years, and I always end up going back to the side by side configuration. (I would blame Ray Eames, but that is Mark's thing...)

	I'm pretty sure that is an Arne Vodder design. The shape of the legs and the position of the stretcher is typical of Vodder/Sibast productions. The construction of the interior and shelves is also consistent with Sibast pieces. Some Sibast pieces were marked with a metal tag that was affixed to the back by two pins, these are often removed in which case it would appear unmarked. It's a lovely thing.

	I like the general idea a lot... ... but wouldn't very shallow shelves accomplish exactly the same thing without the unsightly (and damaging) hardware? Shelves would align the books more perfectly, too. Also, your current arrangement loads the upper-left eyebolt very heavily while the lower-left eyebolt is hardly loaded at all. Individual shelves would distribute the load more evenly.
	Design	1 Relevance	16 years ago	jennocide	General discussion
	Design I'm not going to dignify the Mac vs. PC with anymore of a response, because it's funny people take it personal that one thing is simply better than the other. Go to ITT Tech-you'll find Macs. Go to MIT. You won't find one on the entire campus. Just sayin'. I'm sure you see where I'm going with that. NOW, as far as design, c'mon people? PC's aren't cool or sleek? Have any of you ever been to a computer show? This is how my pc people roll. I'll make a few posts. The first is the most basic case I like a lot more than the mac mini.
	Ah, the Mephisto metaphor worked...	1 Relevance	20 years ago	dcwilson	General discussion
	Ah, the Mephisto metaphor worked... I have two pairs (one sandle, one tie) that I have worn for years and years. It took awhile, but their durability (and my willingness to keep wearing them after they went out of style) finally made their upfront cost well worth it. Regarding the FLW table, isn't it ordinary? But for the edging, not a single thing about it I wouldn't have done with my table saw and glue. Well, maybe I couldn't have done the edging, but then I'd rather it didn't have the edging. 🙂
	Toto CT705L tankless toilet	1 Relevance	21 years ago	ChrisG-52	General discussion
	Toto CT705L tankless toilet Besides the diverter, the other thing I'm not certain of, that I'm still shopping for is the flushometer, or flush valve for the tankless toilet. Most people recommend Sloan, but I've seen some really nice ones, nice as in ones that have a look much like the sink trap listed above, but inverted. I just don't know who makes them, and cannot seem to find them by searching online.

	Some Scandinavian makers were very inconsistent with marking their stuff. Some basically never marked anything. Some used labels that easily fell off. Some labeled everything. And we have two pieces by the same maker, neither marked. So it is entirely possible that the next piece you can find will be marked, as it is hard to state probabilities about two pieces, but my instinct with this sort of thing tells me that they will not be marked. This is more of a case where the piece is the signature.
	Hazelnut,	1 Relevance	12 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	Hazelnut, I like my Porter-Cable US58 staple gun. The working end is made to get into tight spots and you can load it with one hand (or at least there is no plunger thing that has to be completely removed when loading). And it's not expensive at all--not that much more than a quality electric staple gun. http://www.amazon.com/Porter-Cable-US58-22-Gauge-C-Crown-Upholstery/dp/B...

	I agree fastfwd, what's not... I agree fastfwd, what's not to love about steel rod furniture. Whether it's Eames, Nelson, Ernest Race, Robin Day, Mategot and Bertoia, there is nothing quite as nice as a steel frame chair. For my money Frank Guille's version of the Jason chair off Kandya Is. Thing of great beauty.

	Ingo Maurer "One from the... Ingo Maurer "One from the Heart" for $50.... Before I was into designer lighting I had seen this one being posted for weeks on a local trading site. It was described simply as "Italian lamp" and a picture. I thought it was the most ugly thing and kept going. A few years ago I saw it used in the disply of the local Poggenpohl shop and confirmed on the website it was indeed the same lamp for sale.

	i have the pictures ... i have the pictures from the tour and as soon as my hand heals and i get out of the cast I will put them on DA it is hard to do any thing with this cast but the feed back from the National trust tour was that the people loved the home and of course gave me a opportunity to talk about my favorite subject mid century modern and all the designers that have a permanent place in my home
	To Turbo11	1 Relevance	19 years ago	Big Television Man	General discussion
	To Turbo11 A Porsche is a Porsche and not just in name. And a Yugo is one that would never be the same. They'll both get you from point A to point B. But for the money, it's the Porsche for me. Because in the end the best costs less As timeless styling is less of a mess The Yugo will put your patience to the test. The Porsche looks fast when even at rest. The original of a thing, your good taste will be evident, whenever upon it you shall sit. While the knock-off will will make you ask yourself, "What was I thinking when I bought this piece of shit."
