	Oh my god, that looks... Oh my god, that looks exactly like my home! What did this guy do, steal my blueprints? So far, the only difference I can see is, the red lounge chairs by the pool are blue in mine.

	Not 1920's Art Deco, as much as 1930's Streamline Modern...lots of stucco and horizontal lines. By the way,there's always been a combination of Art Deco (really early to mid 1920's) and Streamline Modern (really Depression era design). I have thought to explain the difference that Art Deco is vertical and Streamline Modern is horizontal.

	... vintage, and buy using one of these you are recycling. Always a good thing in my book. Also some of the designs, while similar to the Eames lounge, have unique qualities of their own. There are a number of similarities, but the Plycraft chair is not trying to masquerade as a real Eames Lounge. It's more of a case of being influenced by something rather than blatantly copying it. It's also been noted here before that Plycraft employed some of the same designers responsible for some of our favorite designs made by other manufacturers. To me there is a conside ...

	... been thinking about buying the Noguchi Table and have found literally no difference between the original and the reproduction table I'm looking at other than the stupid little inscribed Isamu Noguchi signature on the side of the table that some machine made. And the Barcelona Chair that Knoll offers right now is nothing like the original, yet they masquerade it as being an original...come on! There is no chance in h*ll that you can honestly say that thing is an original. Has anyone been to see the real ones? They're completely different chairs. I think ...
	So many problems...	1 Relevance	17 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	... to whom that argument would be apropo would be Nakashima, and only to certain types of his work. So, what the Designer does is appoints a company to create the pieces to certain specifications, made with certain materials, in a certain manner that ensures the end product is in compliance with a level of quality. It is product production, not product RE-production. What's the difference? The licencsed company (many times the original, or constant producer of a piece) has access to the directives left by the designer. They have access to original drawings ...

	Thanks for all of those obser... Thanks for all of those observations. I think the thing that intrigues me the most about my chair at this point is the unknown circumstances of its creation, although I admit I would not mind knowing. Probably the biggest difference between my chair and a Lamino is how the armrests are attached to the chair legs (the legs are made of about 18+ layers of veneer). The red arrows show how the joints on my chair armrest components are sort of half-dovetail joints. For a veneer/plywood chair, this kind of joint might actually be ...

	... there ARE knock-offs. i've seen and sat in louis ghost chairs that were being sold for $150. i couldn't tell the difference between these and the Kartells (equally flimsy) but i know for a fact these were coming from china and was told I could buy them wholesale in 3-6 colors for under $100 apiece... also, i believe on ebay there are a few sellers selling the fake ones for $500 for a set of 4. as for which ones to buy; if you have a lot of disposable income, buy real. if you're on a budget buy the knockoffs.
	If I sold	1 Relevance	18 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	If I sold If I ever sold things on Craigslist I made sure to make some sort of difference from when I bought them. For example - if I bought a bunch of dusty, dirty shells I made sure to clean them up, buff out a coat of wax or fiberglass polish, and steel wool the legs. If any screws were missing I replaced them, and if any feet were missing I'd buy rubber boots for the legs. My goal was to take the inherent value of something and reveal it in a way that would justify the price I was asking. I have no problem raising the price on an item if I spent 4 hou ...
	Doh!	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Robert Leach	General discussion
	Doh! I can clearly see the difference now (shouldn't post and try and make dinner at the same time) Maybe the Raymor ones had the different shaped legs ? I've sold a couple of these over the years, and seen them on ebay from time to time too, lovely pieces !
	Generations of children	1 Relevance	17 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	... minutes or hours at a time ? Or perhaps they don't trust the inlaws, the babysitter, or the spouse to take the same care that they do ? Adults can feel the difference underfoot between a wood floor (in a wood-framed house) and a concrete slab. An infant or a toddler is so much lighter in weight that the difference is literally nil. Kids fall -- it doesn't kill them, and they learn something each time, getting better rapidly at negotiating their surroundings. A scratch or a scrape is the price, soon forgotten (but not the lesson, hopefully) and quickly he ...
	Do not buy them!	1 Relevance	17 years ago	rockybird	General discussion
	... skin oil from my arms resting on it. I have been meticuous with these keeping these counters clean. But it doesnt seem to make a difference. And this is in a single professional's house without kids. I dont cook. In fact, I havent used the oven or cooktop EVER. The counters now are a mess. They have only been in place for about 1-2 yrs, at the most. They have hardly been used. I used supposedly reputable licensed contractors who specialize in concrete counters. They have even been on home tv shows. They tried to fix the island, but you can still ...
	ET 111 makes sense	1 Relevance	17 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	ET 111 makes sense If you look at HM's pricing info ET110 is the contract base table with a 48" top. There is a hole in the numbering system where ET 111 would occur, but logically it would be a 54" top with a contract base. I dont really think there is a difference between your 54" top, and the one in my dining room (which is an ET 124, 54" top/ segmented base). You can order these things in pieces, so any mixture of bases and tops is not in any way suprising. It is a rather ubiquitous product. They are used with great frequency in offices and homes. In ter ...
	My statement	1 Relevance	18 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	My statement Was not meant to be taken in literal/technical terms, but you just gave a perfect example of its sentiment. "I seem to be able to see a color and remember it quite precisely when I am shopping for things of matching hues and tones. My husband is lucky if he can tell the difference between dark brown, deep navy and black."
	DudeDah	1 Relevance	18 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	DudeDah If I accidentally run someone over with my Jetta it would be considered negligence. If I deliberately run someone over with my Ford (Ford owners are notoriously violent) it's murder. The difference is intent and that argument has been made clear by several other posters on this thread. ... I do completely agree with you about needlessly jacked up prices. DWR also sells a Moleskin journal for 30$. The same journal can be had at any other store for $16. It's silly. But - if a piece of furniture can be had for the same price between two retailers I ...

	Lunchbox you did get a ... Lunchbox you did get a good deal for the three seater . I paid 800.00 and bought it locally, We used a heavy foam almost like memory foam that you see on beds on the back side, I can get you the exact name if you want it, It really makes the difference to use the best foam cause it will last forever, and you really want the sharp edges as that does give the sofa a cool look.
