	That's a pretty small design box...	1 Relevance	16 years ago	fastfwd	General discussion
	... but I don't see much difference between the options you've presented. To me, they seem interchangeable and (this is just my opinion, of course) a little ordinary. Naturally, I'm aware that not everyone wants dramatic furniture in every room... But would you consider something just a LITTLE more daring? I mean, for the money that you seem prepared to spend ($2500 retail for the table and $700-1000 retail for each chair), there are TONS of options. If you've already made a firm decision to get a wood table and wooden Danish chairs, you can't really go wron ...
	Not sure exactly	1 Relevance	16 years ago	Pegboard Modern	General discussion
	... for a snap to hold the seat cushion in place, then once they started making the chairs, someone said, "Hey, if we use velcro, it will be cheaper and easier." so they made the change. But does it really matter? It's not like there is a significant difference in early and late Pollock sling chairs; value or desirability.
	ty	1 Relevance	16 years ago	dhopper	General discussion
	ty Thanks for the reply. Not that it matters all THAT much, but it does make a difference at least a little to know who they were made by or designed by. More for my knowlege than anything else. Was asking if I should pay $150, but whether or not my deal was as good as I think it was. 🙂 Should have phrased it better.

	.... I was just explaining the huge difference between the natural cherry and regular cherry is all, they are pretty much completely different finishes with the same wood, I see the one in the pic is defiantly the regular cherry, wouldn't be a 1st choice, doesn't look bad though, i dont mind the sable, its almost a gray brown, not a deep brown color.
	`	1 Relevance	16 years ago	Mark	General discussion
	` Well I'm sure that variations were offered with this credenza, however the skinny black legs don't look anything like the chrome legs attached to mine. Perhaps because yours is what appears to be a 48" model?, as i noticed only 2 sliding doors. Another difference is the white (formica?) interior, and the shelf/drawer configuration. Is the piece labeled?
	Have to agree with Barry and Luc	1 Relevance	16 years ago	Poach	General discussion
	Have to agree with Barry and Luc The cherry shells have no grain, no no contrast, no depth. It's like the difference between a DCM and an EC127. Essentially the same chair, but with all the soul sucked out of it.
	Do it once,	1 Relevance	16 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	Do it once, do it right ? If you're planning to give it a new finish eventually, why wait ? My experience with wood is that everything makes a difference -- and that you can't expect two pieces of the same wood, one with one kind of finish and the other with a different finish, can ever be made to be the same again. That is, if one part of this chair is raw and another has lacquer, and now you oil it, then the raw part will absorb oil and the lacquered part won't -- which will affect the way the wood accepts the new finish when you get around to stripping i ...
	AoDA, I see what you're...	1 Relevance	16 years ago	the deep	General discussion
	AoDA, I see what you're... AoDA, I see what you're saying. I'm a bit confused about your example. You're saying the la chaise has a price of almost 10k, but then you calculate your discount from 6k retail. Is there a difference between price and retail? also, how is 'below cost' acceptable to a retailer? I can understand how it is for something on the floor (if it isn't selling, it's just losing money for the retailer every month), but if they have to order it, that is a different game. Hence, I believe, your previous evaluation of cost + 10%. I think in mos ...
	You're welcome	1 Relevance	16 years ago	whitespike	General discussion
	You're welcome "I believe this is a modern approach to the typical extension cord." I know you believe this to be modern in approach. I was asking why.... what makes it so? It has a different shape? That certainly wouldn't make a difference. There is no new material present. There is no innovation being made. I just do not get it. It seems you are just saying modern in terms of aesthetics. Which, of course, modernism definitely has deeper meaning than skin deep. Or maybe you aren't talking aesthetics? Which would make sense, bc I certainly don't consider it ...
	Paint	1 Relevance	16 years ago	fastfwd	General discussion
	Paint Polyurethane paint is what the factory uses, so yeah, that should be ok. The difference between their opaque and translucent painted finishes is just the number of paint layers. I wouldn't care about the labels, but some people do, so it wouldn't be a terrible idea to mask them before painting. You could also try to remove them before sanding and painting, then re-apply them after, but that might not be easy; I just checked the labels on my chairs, and they're secured pretty firmly to the wood. You'll probably need chemical assistance to get them of ...

	... the poverty rate in that county was over 15% and median household income was $46K. Houses in even the most gentrified pocket of an area like that simply can't be as valuable as those in a location like Palo Alto, in the similarly-named Santa Clara County. In 2007, the poverty rate in Santa Clara County was 8.3% and median household income was $84K. That's a big difference. Also, people who buy houses usually take out decades-long mortgage loans, so they need to know that jobs will be easily available to them. The St. Louis metro area, where Belleville r ...

I would imagine Gold, Silver and any other mining related resource extraction being very high in embodied energy. It's amazing how much of a difference recycled metals have an impact versus the raw.

	... place. Hopefully the manufacturer will get back to me. This morning I put my university oil painting degrees to use (for a change) and mixed up a black stain for the place I sanded down to bare wood, and then mixed some of the same heavily pigmented stain with some clear lacquer, and went over the top of that area after I had stained it. I had some luck, and honestly can't see any difference between it and the other chairs. Like the other chairs, the black finish is tight and shows all of the wood grain, and no brush strokes, and also has the exact same ...
	Authentic	1 Relevance	16 years ago	Lunchbox	General discussion
	Authentic Although woody's right. Doesn't matter. They've been decimated by some schoolboy welder. Boggles the mind really. Any metalworker should know the difference between a spot weld and a stick weld. Woof, the wires here indicate a vintage chair. Knoll has increased the girth of the Bertoia series wires over the years. And the assembly has changed as well. I've seen similar. And Pegboard, you'll be confused to know that some Knoll contract fabric Bertoia pads don't come with labels affixed. I have no idea why.
