Description sounds pretty awful...
"Iconic top is carved from one single piece of wood with raised letters and numbers painted in 10 different colors. Vintage crackled finish varies slightly from table to table and adds to the "as found" charm."
So they just scored one piece of wood to make look like a group of blocks? Cheap!

My 10 years old Miele is working great still. Back then there weren't so many choices in the market. My husband wanted something quiet and came with HEPA filter. But buying a vacuum, which cost almost $400, were tough decision for us. When we almost gave up, the local store owner (near Columbia University) gave us $100 discount with cash payment. We happily took our yellow Miele to our home and since then, it's become one of the things I can't live without. And he repaired 2 yeas ago when I had problem with cords. (Well, I pulled the cords too hard...) I remember I paid less than $100 for replacing the whole cords section.

Yes, this is an expensive lounge chair. I wish it didn't have cracks. But I have no idea about its popularity. For example, people willing to pay a lot for beat-up Eames lounge chair.
$1000(?) and see if anyone would be interested. Good luck!

I really love the idea but by looking a picture of the whole body on the original post, I'm just wondering how this can be attached on walls and how things can stay in the holes. Looks like it needs a little more work still to go into production.

Not all of them but most of knockoffs have to compromise something because they have to keep cost down. They aren’t exactly same as original measurement, materials and construction. As a designer, I hope people respect a little bit more for original configurations. That's what all designer use his or her brain for. I don't have to own everything I like. I rather go to museums to see originals and talk about how nicely designed. Licensed products are always on claigslist. You don't have to pay $6000 for Knoll Barcelona. A friend of mine found Cassina LC4 lounge chair for $500 at Salvation Army. This world has been already filled with things, please buy used. If you still want to buy new furniture and can't afford more than knockoff price, please pick something last long time.

We bought a brabantia bin over 12 years ago. It was a kind of crazy idea for us to spend almost $100 for a trash bin. But it's still good looking and the open-close mechanism works smoothly just as when we bought. It was worth it.

We purchased a sofa from Nuovo Melodrom after we'd tried 100's of sofas in many stores we could think of in NYC. Because we were looking for both comfort and style (also affordable). It was during winter sale, they gave us wonderful discount. Sales person was very helpful.

My sofa is white, but easy to clean since it's leather.

Urban outfitter has a small first aid box comes with hardware. Maybe two or three of them can be mounted on the wall next to each other. They are so inexpensive and have many possibilities...

They are Panasonic. I see "National" behind. (Their Japanese name) And I guess they are just transparent displays showing it's technology and capacity etc... and don't mean to market transparent fridges. But maybe not a bad idea?

Those vintage knoll chair is $148... although they are black coated. I've seen vintage knoll so often in both craigslist and eBay. Just wondering what the right price for those chairs.

You have beautiful light in the house. The house must be very happy to have so much love and attention.

15 years ago, they always came on Saturday. And funny.. I actually liked it. There were many beautiful houses in the catalogs and way less than a half million. I was renting back then and didn't have money but looking 200K doorman apartments with "Central Park View" never spoiled my Saturday morning coffee.

Nicely decorated room. But too bad, I just don't see something bold in the pictures. Do you use a tripod? A little color adjustment can be a big help especially when you want to show color. Be careful about cropping and what you are including in a picture, when you shoot. Use unsharp mask at the very end of editing.(if you have a Photoshop) Always check web quality. Good luck!
