February 16, 20197 yr Popular Post comment_178746 My wife was looking for a piece of furniture and we sent in several stores. I'm glad she didn't find any but I did see a table that really impressed me. I asked about it and the sales guy told me it was imported from Africa and was VERY heavy. It took several men to move it. He told me the name, but I can't remember it. The price.......$9,700. However it was on sale from its regular price (I didn't ask) Report

February 17, 20197 yr comment_178765 It is a very pretty table. I wonder if the wood could be "Wenge"? https://www.woodworkerssource.com/shop/category/wenge.html Report

February 19, 20197 yr Author comment_179133 I stopped by that furniture store today and the lady salesperson told me that it was from the philippines, not Africa as the other sales guy said. She didn't know the name, but looked it up. Ahamcha is the wood type. I googled it and there are some pictures that look just like it, there are other pictures that look nothing like it. Anyway, it is on sale and the price of $9700 looks to be about double the price as some on the web Report

February 19, 20197 yr Popular Post comment_179145 You mean to tell us that, at that price, they won't deliver? Report
February 20, 20197 yr Popular Post comment_179187 At least, they could have offered a tarp or two so you could slide it into place. Report
