My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Antique Or Used Furniture ?

9 years ago

I needed more seating in my waiting room. I bought this for $50, friend picked up. Can you tell me anything about it based on ad ? Thank you https://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/atq/d/antique-settee-hall-bench/6200905398.html

    I think it's closer to 1910....and I think it's nicer than Lazy does. Have a big hunch that removal of that fabric on the bottom will show caning holes.
    As how to remove the old nails? VERY carefully!! Pry up with an old table knife and then use pliers to grasp and pull.
    A part of my estimate on time frame was the wooden wheels.
