I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir, but it seems that if its worth having in your house for years on end, its worth the hunt. Plus, the hunt is half the fun!

Totally agree as well.

Solid wood is also better because that sawdust furniture that has popped up over the years emits fumes (formaldehyde used as an adhesive).  I know that the "off-gassing" of compressed wood furniture lessens over time...it still adds junk to the air that HELPS makes people ill even though they don't know what all is contributing to it!  (Getting off soap box.)

Why put up with off-gassing at all? Buy antiques. The real thing!!

Tell you what, even the Amish in Pa have gotten into the Amazon market place thingy. I needed a coat rack recently for my front door, went online and saw these amish ones on amazon, they were not cheap though and several weeks for delivery, 3 or 4? i think. It arrived and was solid maple, beautifully finished with high quality steel hooks. Well worth the wait & the price which was around $200.

Jacon4, there is an Amish furniture store near me here in Texas and they have been open over 15 years.  They are very expensive...yet they have stayed open!

Yeah, there is one here in Charlotte as well that's been around as long as i've been here. There is a reason that they have managed to stay in business, they deliver a high quality product and no, it isn't cheap but hey, quality never has been cheap!
