| From what I gather He did both. He designed a lot of furniture for universities, offices, etc., which are more plain than the residential pieces. Still high quality though. difficult to say which market was larger for Risom... most likely commercial, as is/was the case with Herman Miller and Knoll. | |||||

| Thread I believe the Zenith large shock mounts have the same thread pitch as the early smaller mounts (28 tpi or narrow/fine thread). At some point (probably 1960s or 1970s), HM switched to 20 tpi (or standard thread). Also, lots of vintage screws have messed up threads, especially flattened on some areas or gaps in the threads, making them quite difficult to screw in or out. I'm not sure if they originally came like that, though it appears that way in many cases that I have seen. If so, that is some poor quality control. | |||||

| Thank you all for the... Thank you all for the responses. I'm leaning towards leaving it how it is. There are some imperfections, but it seems a little risky to paint it. I also found out that high temperature powder coating is generally a matte finish, and it's difficult to get any sort of gloss coating. Turns out another option is a ceramic coating, but it is a bit expensive and I'm not even sure who does it in my area. Currenlty my fireplace is disassembled, so pics aren't that interesting, but it's the same as the one in the link a few posts above. | |||||

| Price? Hi All, I'd also love to hear about shipping experiences and prices. Has disassembling the chair for shipment ever done any damage to the chair? Is it difficult to put back together? How much does it cost to ship within the US? To Europe? To elsewhere? Thanks! | |||||

| Good point, Spanky, but the... Good point, Spanky, but the difficult part is learning to let go. On a separate thread, I was debating between which 607's I should part with, and as of today, I still haven't made up my mind. I love everything I've acquired. As my wife puts it, I may have what she calls "choosing disorder"........ | |||||

| the easy answer pink pelican, Calling Cassina is the easy answer (questions regarding discontinued Frank Lloyd Wright Midway Gardens chairs and tables were answered while I waited and a written reply was snail mailed for my records). You failed to include photos with your emailed question. "It looks genuine to me" helps only mind readers that contribute to this forum. Do not make this same mistake when you contact Cassina via email (they, like others, find it difficult to understand and reply to the feeble-minded). This question and many more will be answer ... | |||||

| : ) Well, you have been given advice, and you can do whatever you want as they are yours. You only have the panels? No shelves at all? I did not use all my panels as they had ghost bleaching and holes were made for switches and outlets...and i have wood walls existing. It isn't necessarily difficult to veneer, just tricky and not a fun job. Delivery/ pick-up, veneer, stain, seal...gets expensive. Possibly more than you would pay for a full unit that you really want. So you have some chipboard panels and the only value is the veneer that you don't like and w ... | |||||

I guess I am too biased towards going all- vintage to help with the repro rocker search... but to answer your question about the looks, it really just comes down to taste, and what else you have near it, if you are not worried about "vintage appropriateness". I would just go for something that does not look or feel too brand new, on such a nicely aged/seasoned shell. I like birch when it gets aged ... | |||||

(new) 6) which one makes your heart sing? youre a collector... youre gonna keep the old one HANDS DOWN! Im guessing that your wife likes the grain in the new one better, and you have to admit she has a point, but HATE the idea of parting with the old one. But youre such a nice guy that you are trying to convince yourself so you can make her happy? Good luck with this difficult decision. | |||||

| . SDR answered. Replacement pegs. I believe it is 1/4 inch, but not certain. Not really a diY since you need clamps and such, but not a difficult project for a woodworker. The pegs are glued, not just 'pop outs'. They need to be drilled out at the correct angle. A solvent may loosen the glue but have not tried. I have one unit by the garage entrance, so i bought some cheap dowels at the local hardware and cut them with a snap blade. Cut long, 4-6 inches, and have a half dozen in some the empty rail standard holes for keys, scarves, dog leashes...so i recall ... | |||||

To my knowledge there are actually three versions of the low LAX before the H: 1) The earliest UBER low X- (I think "Moddesigner" on ebay has one for sale) 2) The slightly higher "low X" (still with the thin metal legs and domes glides) 3) The highest, last "LOW X" ( with boot glides, and made until the Low H with metal glides in '56 LUNCHBOX ...

| ... a health problem, that's a different issue. "Comfortable" is a pretty arbitrary designation. A lot of people think that if something isn't all soft and fluffy, it's not "comfortable". Is an Aalto stool "uncomfortable" because it is not soft? I would say not. Very often, a "comfort problem" with a chair is actually due to the ill emotional state, obesity, or otherwise unhealthy lifestyle of the user. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE SO diFFICULT. | |||||
