Well KC !!  I think you were right,, it was re-caned  and looks like it was done by someone not very experienced !! I noticed looking at the top that the holes in the pattern were not even but thought it may have been because something heavy had been on it !!  Guess not !!
your cheaters...are,nt up to it..Dear Mart......i.e...pos t number 2.... ;D

Looks like that sucker would just spin and spin instead of moving on down the line!

Thanks for all the advice. It seems too bad that old quality furniture is passed by at estate sales. Seems people would rather throw away their money on "big box" store stuff that will fall apart in a few years.
what you have to remember is....not everyone wants to live with old furniture....its only as you get older, that you begin to cherish what your parents and grandparents had....

True. Or, as a decorator recently put it, " I dont care about antiques, i care about interesting things to live with". Antique furniture is not what it was several years ago for many reasons, will it come back into fashion in a big way? sure, but i have no idea when.

If someone doesnt fix whatever problem this site is having with posting photo's, i predict a dim future here as pic's are kinda vital to this forum. It could be the technology has become dated and is getting to be rather antique-ish in internet terms. Why not update the machinery?

Still, i think $25 is about right for your stool, $2 is way to low. Cane seated furniture has been around forever and, is still being made today.

no, dont think so. First off, i am on a brand new desk top with 50 megs of speed and, the photos i have been trying to post are proven links, not photos i have just shot with a cam and converted to jpg links. Finally, i post on other antique forums, no issues at all with posting jpg links (photo).

We had some pic problems not long ago and they thought it was repaired !!  Maybe not !! Has anyone emailed the site owner or told Talesofthesevenseas the mod. ??  If not,,might be a good thing to do Jacon4 since you can tell them what happened when you tried to post pics !! I haven`t posted anything in a while but never had any more problems than usual considering I am on dial up !!

what happens is, when you click post, the site stalls, which leads to clicking post again which might lead to double posts. since a site like this is so dependent on photo's, if folks are having problems,eventually that will lead to people going somewhere else to post. just saying......

"Who is hosting the forum?"
The Simple Machines copyright at the footer of the forum software does not indicate that we are the host - rather it indicates that we are the company that owns copy rights to the forum software, much like Microsoft owns the copyright to the code behind Microsoft Word. If you would like to determine the host, you should look at the WHOIS information for the domain name.


Alrighty then, it's looking to me at the moment that the problem could be with the Host of this site and, according to WHOIS, the host is PowWeb. If you Google review/ratings of PowWeb  as a hosting service the results are pretty bad.
