	Ha! My wife thought I was... Ha! My wife thought I was insane to buy it off of Clist. That first night we left the unfinished thing in our living room. BIG mistake. The next morning our house stunk like a farm. Ick! It was a ton of work to strip it, sand it, finish it, polish the metal etc. Thank the design gods that that old herman miller stuff had really good quality veneer. Ultimately, it turned out great. It's one of our favorite pieces in our house. You would never know the thing housed chickens for years on a farm! We still fondly refer to it as the chicken coop though. That pole lamp is so awesome. We looked around forever to find one. I have no idea what company made it, but it's pretty unique. I wanted a Stiffel lamp but those things are serious $$$.

	................................... You can determine whether it's "low rate junk" or not by inspecting it. It's office furniture. If it's sturdy and stable it's okay. Look at how the legs support the top, shake it a bit, feel how heavy and stable it is and judge whether it will perform adequately when it is placed. It's not a design classic, there's nothing revolutionary or particularly interesting here (so who cares who "designed" it), it's a simple table desk. This does not mean that it's junk, it's just an attractive industrial/institutional style study table. I realize the "who cares" concept re: the "designer" is probably a touchy thing to bring up on the forum, but it's something that applies to a lot of the junk er... I mean objects that people want identified on this thing presumably so they can make more when they sell the stuff... PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM speaking generally here so please take no offense... I mean it never hurts to be particular but when it's just more of the same of another generic example of whatever category a lot of the times it really doesn't matter, just call it "retro" or whatever...
	Hi.	1 Relevance	11 years ago	Mark	General discussion
	Hi. My latest is another free orchid. The poor thing was about to be dumpster'd (including the pot) by my neighbor. I will make it bloom. I will. Hi. Aunt Mark (edited) because I had a puff, immediately put one hand on my appropriate hip, and relocated the sweet little thing. What would Ray do? WWRD?
	There are different weave	1 Relevance	11 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	There are different weave patterns other than the really open one on the chair back and the most dense one that I showed in my photos. I don't think you'd be able to see much of anything through the densest weave when it is new (as in the chair in the ad). Maybe with use the cane would sag enough so that there was more space between the individual canes, making it possible to see through it a little, as in your chair. I would not do an open weave on a seat, ever--aside from less attractive blocks showing from the underside, there's that question of durability. The fewer strands of cane there are, the more weight each strand has to support and the sooner it will wear out and break. I think the biggest thing for me is that the cane on yours just looks really old. It is possible that it was rewoven but it would have to have been done a really long time ago. Most cane is rewoven after decades of use when it finally wears out. While it's possible that it could have been redone early in the chair's life, like if some moron put his foot through it, it's far more likely that it's the original cane. That's not a definitive answer, I know---but it's the kind of thing I factor in when trying to figure out stuff like this.

	OK, i see--i think there's also maybe a bit of that lighting thing going on where one can see it both going in or out, depending on how convinced one is of one or the other.
