This early 1800s work table is our piece of the week. 3521For Christmas week, this year, we wanted to feature something different and unique that you might be able to put to use this holiday season. we were also looking for a piece that you would need to put in the basement until next Christmas, but rather a piece that could become part of your home. This unique worktable has rounded edges which makes it a natural to accommodate a two way buffet line. Perfect to hold your Christmas meal in buffet style, this server could also function as a useful prep table. It would be great for your kids to do crafts, roll out cookie dough or even use as a gift or a wine table at a party.

Outdoor Furniture Set "Piece of the Week"

Posted by Jay Frucci on Fri, February 17, 2012 @ 09: 45 PM
uimg 8428

It may not seem to be the time of year to begin thinking about your pool patio deck, but time is flying! As the month of February has the feel of Spring in the air, maybe we'll be treated to an early and extended summer.

Outdoor furniture sets are a substantial investment if you choose to go with good quality and design. That is why, even thought we are still in the dead of winter, we made this great cast aluminum outdoor set our Piece of the Week.

Our logic is that it is hard to come by quality pre-owned outdoor furniture sets.

uimg 8461

Most of the sets that are offered to us have been well weathered and are not very appealing. Others are rusted, have mildew or have faded quite a bit. But this set is none of those things. It has been well cared for and has many pieces including a glider, swivvel rocker, coffee table, end table, three seat sofa, table with

four chairs two umbrellas and a chaise lounge.

If your patio set is in need of replacement, we would recommend checking this set out. It is a great value and you may need it sooner than we all think should the weather continue to stay ahead of its normal schedule.

Henredon King Sleigh Bed - Piece of the Week

Posted by Jay Frucci on Fri, January 13, 2012 @ 10: 59 PM

1uimg 5523This is one of our favorite beds that we have seen in a long, long time. Though this is a big bed, it does help to maximize the space in the bedroom as the sleigh does not extend too far out. This way you can press the headboard almost flush against the wall. Most sleigh beds have an arched back and as a result you have to alot for more square footage in the bedroom as the bed protrudes further into the room.

The footbaord sits below the mattress line and also has very little arch so again it offers more space in the room.

1uimg 5524

The design tapers out towards the bottom of the bed for a very sleek and modern look. We really like the look of this bed as it is very sleek and sexy, yet it is able to blend in with the more traditional chests and accent pieces. This Henredon bed is a very good value and can be had for a very good price at $1,499.

You can find great beds like this in our Hanover Furniture Consignment Gallery and also in our newest Furniture consignment Gallery in Chestnut Hill.

Bent Bros. Solid Maple Windsor Chairs - Piece of the Week

Posted by Jay Frucci on Sat, April 09, 2011 @ 07: 38 AM

Our focus this week is on Bent Bros. which was the fourth oldest New England Furniture manufacturer. They didn't just make chairs, but that was their specialty. They worked mostly with solid maple woods and their most popular creations are the solid maple Windsor chairs which we have in our inventory. These chairs were made in the 1960s and they are as solid as they were the day they were purchased. They are made from all solid woods, are hand planed, glued, screwed and joined in all of the right ways. These chairs should outlive generations and they still look great.

Sadly, many of these wonderful manufacturers of chairs have struggled to the point of having to close their doors. Recently in New England we have lost Hitchcock Chair Co., Nichols and Stone and others. Imports have arrived such as the Hooker dining table and chairs that we also have in our inventory. These imports have a more updated design, an appealing finish and are very attractive. The chair made by Hooker which is imported from China appears to be very solid and sturdy as well. But when we examine the chair closer, it is supported and secured with a weak engineered wood. Held together by a hex screw, nothing is glued or joined in a proper way. In fact, this chair was assembled from parts on its arrival to the original retailer's warehouse. What this means is that these screws will loosen and when they do, the chair will have play in it. When the chair rocks back and forth from this play, the engineered wood won't be strong enough to support the weight of an individual's shifting weight. The connecting wood at the corners of the chair could crack and the engineered wood is difficult to repair.

The, new, imported chairs have cut corners and prices and they have challenged the mettle of America's best chair companies.  Bent Bros is no longer producing chairs, but these featured chairs will carry on for generations. The imported chairs may hold together for five to ten years. That is a drastic difference. If these Bent Bros. chairs were manufactured today, they would retail for between $500 - $700 each. This set of eight chairs is priced for $1,499.
