Please be aware that, as is common with vintage items, this piece may exhibit minor signs of wear. We encourage you to view all items in person before making a purchase.

 

While we strive to carefully refurbish and clean our furniture to reflect their original state, it's important to note that most of our pieces originate from pre-1980. As such, some signs of age and previous use may still be present. We try to point out any visible concerns. 

 

We aim to describe each item to the best of our ability; however, we strongly advise our clients to thoroughly examine the item photos, descriptions, and details prior to making any purchases. All images should be considered an integral part of the item description. Additional photos are available upon request to display the product's detailed condition. If you have any questions, we are more than willing to assist you.
