New additions to our Home...W&B Mobler Teak Bed & Skeller Teak Folding Desk  

I had been waiting for quite while to get my hands on a couple pieces I had acquired from a client in on a barter deal...furniture for landscaping some flowers around her house. They were being stored in a pole barn next to her house...clean and dry I may add...as my Wife and I looked for a house.
The W&B Mobler Queen bed...I do believe is teak...is in wonderful condition. Structurally solid and then some after I added steel corner brackets to the interior corners of the bed's structure. The base needs a paint touch up though. I got the bed sans slats, so I made a 1/2" hardwood ply with 1/2" poplar ribs deck. It's got nice spring with plenty of strength and feels just about right with the memory foam. It's a beautiful expanse of teak and sleeps comfortably. My only wish is that more wood was exposed seeing as once a mattress is put in much of the headboard gets covered up leaving only about 8-10" exposed. Then when a pillow is added you see very little of the headboard.
The Skeller(Norway) Teak Desk is a wonderful piece of furniture engineering which has been able to stay relevant and highly useful until today. c. 1961. It fits a Dell 17" flat monitor at a slight skew just fine. The tower fits on the bottom shelf and doesn't hinder closing the cabinet door. The keyboard slides right under the shelf when closed. It has quickly become my favorite piece in the house. It has one issue of two desk extensions are missing, but isn't noticeable unless you know they're suppose to be there. It's a great piece!
