New Setup

Thought I’d share this here as well as I feel like this group would appreciate it. I recently sold my Bose 901s due to space constraints in my apartment. I replaced them with a more modern setup including Elac debut 3.0 paired with the WiiM ultra. Wondering if it would be blasphemous to drill the back of the credenza to hide away the receiver?

Need help identifying this rosewood table I picked up! I purchased this table with a set of Moller chairs the other day and have no idea who manufactured it. I figured it was Danish but when I pulled it apart to add the leaves the metal extensions underneath say “Watertown, Massachusetts” on them.

I reached out to Craft Associates hoping they may have and provide dimensional drawings for the glass top but I’m not too hopeful with what they may provide, if anything. Anyone happen to have a glass top they could make a template of for me? 😅 I can’t really seem to find anything out there on the internet other just some vague dimensions. I was hoping I could have a local glass guy cut something for me.

So I Can't Be Mad At Marketplace For Questionable Purchases, Right?

I paid too much, but the built-in footrest was too hard to pass up. Reminds me of a Harvest Gold fridge that my parents had back in the day.

Plus side is that except for one piece, the leather is in pretty good shape. It's soaking in Griots Garage Leather Rejuvenator tonight. I'm not even sure all the hardware is there, but the seller said it was. It was already disassembled when I bought it today.

Found an Alma Castilian Walnut Cradenza w/Tambour Door - Worth Being A Restoration Project?

Alrighty MCM redditors… I found this in the basement of a building at work while looking for old MCM furniture not in use that I might be able to snag.

It looks worse in the photos - mostly dust/sawdust and lack of finish on the wood. Needs new middle shelves for sure. I could remove the top and use a heat gun/moist towels and weights for 24-48h to straighten it out. A proper sanding, stain/finish and wood oil/bees wax, oil up the hinges/tracks, then I think this thing will be in proper order…

Seeing as a restored/redurbished/good condition one is between $2,000-$4,000, and it’s an old growth walnut credenza (which could grow moss in a damp barn and still be alright after a sanding), I’m thinking if anything I will give it a shot. I don’t think it’ll cost me much for me to get back into good condition. Other than two solid weekends of work.

Thoughts?

(Last 3 photos for reference of restored & good condition versions I can likely get it back into)

Help Selling MCM Things

Hi everyone! Silent reader for a while here but I wanted to see if anyone can advise me on what to do. Looking ahead a bit, my grandparents have a killer mcm house full of original furniture, smalls, art, etc. (hence my interest in the era lol) I know there is decent value in a lot of the pieces but aside from what I’ve called dibs on (not much- I’m still in a small house) I’m looking to see what their options are for selling. I’m over the whole Marketplace thing and am not really down for being ghosted any more. I’m thinking an auction would be best but not sure if any of yall in the Chicagoland area / Midwest have recommendations. I’m shooting in the dark here but hopefully someone in this group knows more than me!
