1stdibs; Nightmare!  

Hello everyone,

I bought this chairs from 1stdibs because the dealer described this chairs are produced in 1960-1969. I just found out that this two stamps means it is produced in 1971 or later.

I am very disappointed. I bought it from Michaela Bauer - Vintage Interiors. I asked her how the condition is before purchase, and confirmed that chairs are in excellent condition. And it is indian rosewood, not brazilian rosewood. I reported the issue to the dealer and she told me she doesn't understand why I am upset because chairs are rare and great condition. Seriously?

As you see, it is terrible conditions. I asked many refinishers and some told me it might be impossible to fix them.

I reported the issue to 1stdibs support team and I am waiting for their response.

So beware when you purchase from 1stdibs. Some dealers are not honest and they know it is difficult to fix problem.

I will update how this will turn out.
