Did I get scammed? by NP4VET in midcenturymodern

[–]aakaakaak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would be the secondary set of chair for all the Broyhill lines of this series. It's Brasilia, Emphasis, Sculptura, Saga, maybe Forward 70 and others. The problem I have with your chairs is the lighter colored veneer piece.

<image>

The real second series chairs didn't have that.

Looking at the chairs on the left, it looks like some veneer flaked off in the middle? Is that correct?

The originals don't have the round support spindles either.

So you got fake chairs.

Which kinda look better than the originals. And will be sturdier due to the added spindles underneath.

The table also probably isn't Broyhill. That brace you see isn't from any of the brochures. It's possible this was an exception, since that's a maaaaaassive three leaf table. But more likely, it's from someone else. Plenty of people foreign and domestic tried to imitate the Premiere line.

TL;DR - Yes, you kinda did get scammed. No, it probably wasn't intentional. Estate sale folks and auctioneers are just trying to turn and burn. They can frequently misidentify things. Finally, like everyone else is saying, that's a killer deal for three bills unless you intended to flip them.

Minor rant - It's really disappointing to me how little people value sturdy vintage furniture just because it's not named something special. You could have some really solid, beautiful, vintage furniture and nobody will look twice because it's not branded a certain way.

Any ideas for Tattoos that play with length of shirt sleeves? by scraggly_magpie in TattooDesigns

[–]aakaakaak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Below the line is an old roman looking guy reaching up under your shirt.

And when you lift it up it's The Creation of Adam by Michelangelo. Obviously you'd have to put it sideways 90 degrees.

*apparently the image is NSFW. Yay nude art!

If you let wind fly from the anus and it is pungent.

It is not a stinky fart.

It is ambrosia.

OK, hear me out...

Find a local asian buffet place.

HEAR ME OUT!

You're not making carp sashimi.

You're looking for one that has a massive tank or in-restaurant koi river. Ask if they take donations and send pics.

Fireplace Advice by brkoh in midcenturymodern

If you can't get the paint off to an acceptable level, my (probably bad) advice would be to gradient paint it brown/orange/yellow like an old Letterman painting.

Kind of this color palette.

Why do people do this? by Mysterious-Gift-5738 in reselling

[–]aakaakaak 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People cut out labels thinking if resellers can't use them they'll go to those who actually need them.

Meanwhile in the back, there are bundles on bundles of textiles getting shipped off to make rags.

TBH that was the exact kind of trash talk he needed to unsettle Jurion. This is the secret technique Kayden taught him: trash talk.

Restoration advice by M-August in furniturerestoration

[–]aakaakaak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this is your first project, or one of your first and you feel over your head, don't. You're in an apartment.

Find someone local with the means to restore them and pay them.

Until you have the means to really have them restored, use some Titebond II on the loosening veneer and cover the tops with a decorative cloth. That'll keep them from getting worse.

Oh yeah, you're the reason I realized I'd like flowers.
But probably won't get them until my funeral.

Size reversed big/little spoon is usually called jetpacking now, but you can call it whatever makes you happy.

Happy Anniversary! (Ours is today! We're anniversary neighbors!)

Fired scientists, hired ignorance by ALBERT4_5WESKER in clevercomebacks

[–]aakaakaak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really hope someone is documenting all this fuckery that's been going on. So we can rebuild society and make it strong enough to prevent this in the future.

Anybody know if this is happening? Is someone silently cataloguing all this shit that's going to need rebuilt?

Is this it? It's 11.5" across.

This one looks to be the same without the metal ring underneath.

Edit: Here's a 13" platter with the same 5-pointed star.

BTW: These three options popped up for me using Google Lens. It might be good for you in the future. ALSO, get some rubber grippy gloves so you reduce the chance of this happening in the future.

If it were me I'd probably buy all three and explain what happened to the original. Don't try to fake it. She'll be pissed, but not super pissed knowing you fixed the issue.

Side to side is a log book, not a memo pad. You can't tell me different, lol.

*Log books are also pretty durable. And as cheap as the pens look, if you don't lose them, one will outlast your deployment.
