    THANK YOU! This is the kinda vibe I’ve been looking for! But whenever I find it, it costs 1000’s
    I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of a good supplier of this kind of shit. A brand to search for or something.

      I didn’t have any luck with brand new chairs, like you said they’re all $1,000+. Depending on your comfort with used furniture, local vintage might be your best bet. I dry cleaned the wool upholstery and then sanded and re-stained the wood and it looked almost new!

          Same! I think it’s probably the best way to get quality furniture without having to pay a lot. When I married my spouse we got all of her grandma’s furniture, the only time I’ve regretted that is when we move, some of it is really heavy.

          Speaking of heavy, a couple years back I picked up a really cool Mahogany 1920’s art deco desk off of a local marketplace, made by a local executive office furniture supplier that’s long gone out of business. It’s gotta be at least 10ftx5ft and weigh 200+ lbs. I picked it up for free but had to pay people to move it. Looks sort of like this one only wider in the middle. The planks that slide out above the drawers are absolute genius.

            You’re kidding! I had a gorgeous mahogany escritoire that I got for free as well. I got tired of it after I had to move for the third time in 10 months though lol, so I left it behind.
